10:00:03:14 - 10:00:05:17
What makes Aberpennar unique
10:00:05:17 - 10:00:07:07
is the staff team.
10:00:07:07 - 10:00:08:06
The entire team do it
10:00:08:06 - 10:00:09:02
because they care.
10:00:09:02 - 10:00:11:21
Alongside that we’re nursing, residential.
10:00:11:21 - 10:00:13:01
As long as we feel we're able
10:00:13:01 - 10:00:14:14
to support someone we will.
10:00:14:14 - 10:00:16:15
We’ve got several generations of staff
10:00:16:15 - 10:00:17:22
working in the home,
10:00:17:22 - 10:00:18:11
and all doing it
10:00:18:11 - 10:00:19:10
for the right sort of value
10:00:19:10 - 10:00:20:22
sets and it all bleeds into that,
10:00:20:22 - 10:00:22:20
kind, care company.
10:00:22:20 - 10:00:24:09
I've been given a lot
10:00:24:09 - 10:00:25:21
of opportunities from the day
10:00:25:21 - 10:00:26:24
I walked in through the door,
10:00:26:24 - 10:00:27:14
they’ve
10:00:27:14 - 10:00:29:02
always given me belief in myself
10:00:29:02 - 10:00:29:21
that I can achieve
10:00:29:21 - 10:00:30:22
whatever I want to,
10:00:30:22 - 10:00:31:20
they always encourage you
10:00:31:20 - 10:00:32:22
to progress.
10:00:32:22 - 10:00:34:06
We're upskilling people
10:00:34:06 - 10:00:35:15
where we can see that room
10:00:35:15 - 10:00:36:09
for development.
10:00:36:09 - 10:00:37:22
The want for it as well.
10:00:37:22 - 10:00:38:19
Tammy used to work
10:00:38:19 - 10:00:39:19
in a fish shop
10:00:39:19 - 10:00:41:07
and then moved into a care home
10:00:41:07 - 10:00:42:19
setting as a carer
10:00:42:19 - 10:00:43:14
then worked her way
10:00:43:14 - 10:00:45:04
up to nursing assistant.
10:00:45:04 - 10:00:45:22
Julie who’s our
10:00:45:22 - 10:00:47:01
wellbeing coordinator
10:00:47:01 - 10:00:48:23
she was a nurse
10:00:48:23 - 10:00:50:04
once upon a time.
10:00:50:04 - 10:00:50:17
The idea
10:00:50:17 - 10:00:51:23
is it upskills staff,
10:00:51:23 - 10:00:52:15
that want to learn
10:00:52:15 - 10:00:53:03
and do more.
10:00:53:03 - 10:00:54:21
The progression pathways are a real reason
10:00:54:21 - 10:00:55:18
why people stay.
10:00:55:18 - 10:00:57:09
It feels like family.
10:00:57:09 - 10:00:58:09
All the carers,
10:00:58:09 - 10:00:59:08
all the team
10:00:59:08 - 10:01:01:21
are just so close knit.
10:01:01:21 - 10:01:03:15
Every role is important in this
10:01:03:15 - 10:01:05:13
home, down to the cleaning staff
10:01:05:13 - 10:01:07:05
down to the kitchen staff.
10:01:07:05 - 10:01:08:20
We treat each other as equals,
10:01:08:20 - 10:01:10:00
knowing what parts of jobs
10:01:10:00 - 10:01:11:00
we've got to do
10:01:11:00 - 10:01:12:15
to keep the home running.
10:01:12:15 - 10:01:15:01
We involve a lot of our outside
10:01:15:01 - 10:01:15:18
life in this home
10:01:15:18 - 10:01:16:11
which is what I think
10:01:16:11 - 10:01:17:20
makes it a bit special.
10:01:17:20 - 10:01:20:00
The warmth of everybody here
10:01:20:00 - 10:01:21:13
no matter whether they’re
10:01:21:13 - 10:01:22:20
in the kitchen,
10:01:22:20 - 10:01:24:11
cleaners, in admin
10:01:24:11 - 10:01:26:03
carers, maintenance,
10:01:26:03 - 10:01:28:12
they all come in and join in
10:01:28:12 - 10:01:29:10
with what we’re doing.
10:01:29:10 - 10:01:31:12
It’s everybody joining as a team
10:01:31:12 - 10:01:33:10
it’s just a lovely atmosphere.
10:01:33:14 - 10:01:34:10
The qualities I look
10:01:34:10 - 10:01:34:24
for in staff
10:01:34:24 - 10:01:36:14
when I'm recruiting is
10:01:36:14 - 10:01:38:06
not based on experience.
10:01:38:06 - 10:01:39:10
You can't train nice.
10:01:39:10 - 10:01:40:23
We try and pull out
10:01:40:23 - 10:01:42:15
our sort of company values.
10:01:42:15 - 10:01:43:05
It draws out
10:01:43:05 - 10:01:45:01
what that person is like as a person.
10:01:45:01 - 10:01:46:18
and that’s extended to the residents.
10:01:46:18 - 10:01:50:24
Working in care is a dedication.
10:01:50:24 - 10:01:52:12
I can't speak highly enough
10:01:52:12 - 10:01:53:11
of any of my team.
10:01:53:11 - 10:01:54:04
It's just the best
10:01:54:04 - 10:01:55:00
job in the world.
10:02:59:04 - 10:03:02:02
Everyone you talk to.

10:03:04:06 - 10:03:06:06
You do feel at home.
10:03:42:14 - 10:03:43:08
[To be] a good carer
10:03:43:08 - 10:03:45:06
you must be really kind
10:03:45:06 - 10:03:47:08
and caring about your work.
