The Team that makes it all happen..

Assistant Managers & Team Leaders

We have experienced Assistant Managers and Team Leaders who offer advice and support to our team of Support Workers and to the people we work with.

They are compassionate and kind and work closely together to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible.

Wellbeing Coordinator

We believe that supporting our team means that they offer the best support to the people we work with.

Our Wellbeing Coordinator supports members of staff to promote their own well-being.

On Call

Our on call team are always to hand in an emergency out of office hours .

Support Workers

Support Workers are key to our organisation,

as is their knowledge and experience to support the people we work with.

We like to spend time and invest in our Support Workers, as when they are positive and kind, it is reflected by positive outcomes for those we work with.

Our Approach

SEAH follows a Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) model when

supporting people and that means that everyone in our

organisation should have knowledge of PBS and it’s value base.

We are registered as a PBS organisation with the British Institute of

Learning Disabilities (BILD).

‘PBS is a values-led approach that aims to improve the quality of a

person's life and that of the people around them.

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is about working in partnership

with people, treating them with dignity and respect and enabling

them have a better life.

All behaviours have a meaning. Positive Behaviour Support aims to

understand what behaviours that challenge tell us so that the

person’s needs can be met in better ways. The way the person is

supported often has to change to achieve this and this needs to

be regularly reviewed by all the people involved.

Positive Behaviour Support is an approach that puts the person at

the centre to make systems work for the person. We give the right

support at the right time so people can thrive to their potential.’

Our Uniqueness

We believe that we are different to other support providers, and

this is because our services:

Promote Positivity

We believe that having a positive outlook on life is important for

everyone's mental well-being.

We find that having a positive approach to people we work with

including our team and ourselves, has a positive impact upon

outcomes for everybody.

Goal-Set

Everybody's goals are different.

Sometimes, having a plan helps us to work towards something.

Whether that be within the organisation, for our team or for those

we work alongside.

Encourage Independence

Independence means different things to different people.

We recognise that being Independence doesn't always mean

that people don't need help with things.

We think it's important to find out what independence means to

the people we work with and work alongside them when they

need support.

Champion People’s Rights

We always try to advocate for the people we’re working with and

want to ensure that everyone’s Human Rights are upheld and

considered as a crucial part of the service we provide.

Are Transparent

We know that we’re not perfect, but we want to be as good as

we possibly can be. We believe in being honest about the things

we need to improve upon and constantly striving to improve how

we do things.

Value People

We recognise the hard work and dedication of the people who

work for us and always strive to show our employees that we value

them. We believe that a happy workforce means that we are

always providing the best support that we are able to offer and

that we will always be able to consistently offer this.

Are Compassionate

We genuinely care about the people we come into contact with,

whether that be the people we support, their networks and our

employees.
