CTRC Staff
CTRC Support Staff
We are extremely proud of our company and the team we have assembled to work with us. We fully appreciate that our staff are our most valuable asset and the means by which we are able to achieve our goals to support vulnerable adults in the community.
In order for CTRC to provide Service Users with the highest quality standards of support, it is essential that we share a common philosophy between management and Support Workers. We ask nothing of our Support Workers that we would not ask of any other staff member.
We ask our employees for:
- Loyalty
- Honesty
- Commitment to delivering a high quality service
- Hard, dedicated work
- Harmonious and efficient working
- Attendance at all mandatory training
- Attendance at specialist training if requested to do so
CTRC Management monitors staff performance through supervision, observation and appraisal. All staff receives rigorous training that is regularly updated. Should a Service User require specialist training for a particular Service User’s needs, this is provided.
