​

Back to Back Care employs staff with a wide and diverse background and experience to compliment the staff team and provide quality support, as well as a mixture of skills, and gender and ethnic background balance. The staffing level varies depending on the individual needs of the Young People in placement and which units they reside in.

​

All staff working in the units will be based around the individual needs of the young people, subject to risk assessments and what is outlined within their care plan and the agreement obtained through their referral and their placement plan meeting with their social worker. This will be reviewed in line with the changing needs of young person or group dynamics.

 

It is our policy to employ agency staff as an absolute last resort, in the first instance any sickness or absence would be covered by existing staff. Any agency staff would only be employed through prior discussions with senior management team to ensure that staffing levels meet the needs of Back to Back Care at all times. In using any agency staff, we will also endeavor to maintain a list of interviewed and vetted bank staff on our payroll to cover for sickness and unavoidable absence.
