Residential Care Home Manager

Silver Springs Support is a leading provider of highly personalised support for people with a range of needs. We use a person-centred approach and work collaboratively with each person to plan and provide the support to them. We provide 'just enough support' to enable each individual to do as much as they can for themselves while developing the skills to achieve greater independence. Therefore, the amount of support we provide depends on the needs of each person.

In a long-term care environment for individuals who may have a learning disability and autism, it is often the case that the care package focuses on maintaining the person's health and well-being. We also ensure that there is an emphasis on ensuring voices are heard and co-production to ensure each person can live a fulfilled life with opportunities to further develop whilst promoting their independence.

We aim to promote safe person-centred and evidence-based practice. We have the skills, behaviours and attitudes to effectively manage and support individuals whose behaviours can challenge others.
