A Caring Career … Care at Rockdale House is provided by the Deputy Home Manager, three Senior Residential Social Workers, and nine day and eight night RSWs, all under the management of the Home Manager, who is a State Registered Nurse. |
The care staff (RSWs) work on a rota of early, late and night shifts, with a Senior and three care staff on duty each morning, and a Senior and two care staff each evening. Each RSW normally works three morning and two evening shifts per week. Two waking night staff are on duty each night.
We offer in-house training for carers in all aspects of their work, and they are enabled and encouraged to obtain NVQs in care. The care staff offer all personal care to residents and each resident has a “key helper”, a member of the care staff who has special responsibility for getting to know the resident well and for their individual welfare. Some of our RSWs have been with us a long time and love the work, even when it was not an area they had thought of before they joined us.
