About the Service
6 people we support live in this supported living service, all of whom have learning disabilities. Some are also autistic, and one has Down syndrome. The service has transitioned from residential to supported living, and both residents and staff are adapting to the new way of living and working. Service is at full capacity and is located close to amenities within Teddington.
Rota Details
The supported living manager works 50% of the rota focusing on long days (starting at either 07:00 or 08:00 and finishing at 20:00 or 21:00) and 50% on administration. The manager may need to cover sleep-in shifts, as the service has two sleep-ins per night.
