The Staff Team

Each individual project has its own designated staff team. Whether this is within a residential or supported living scheme. Each project has a set number of contracted hours that it must fulfil each week. Staff working for Lisieux Trust are expected to work a shift system, including evening and weekends with occasional ‘sleep in’ shifts (dependant on the project requirements)

These hours are covered by a variety of staff including Managers, Senior Support Workers, Support Workers, Driver/Carers and Maintenance Operative. All of whom have had several years experience working with people with learning disabilities and hold a variety of formal qualifications ranging from Social Work Degrees, Diploma in Social Care and Management, National Vocational Qualification Levels 2,3 and 4, British Sign Language Stage 1 and 2.

Prior to any staff member commencing employment with Lisieux Trust, an enhanced disclosure from the Criminal Records Bureau must be obtained. One other check that the Trust also operate is the Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA)

During the first three months of their probationary period all staff are offered training in mandatory topics and are encouraged to obtain qualifications/certification in First Aid, Fire Safety, Basic Food Hygiene, Manual Handling, Medication Awareness as well as more specific topics such as Tourette syndrome, Dyspraxia, Asperger and Autism. Training for staff continues throughout their employment and staff are actively encouraged to put themselves forward for a variety of training offered both internally and external to Lisieux Trust.

To date Lisieux Trust employs 72 staff. The staff team is diverse in experience, ethnicity, age and gender, roles and responsibilities.
