We have three residential short break homes. These provide care and overnight breaks for disabled children and young people. They are in Redruth, St Blazey and Liskeard.

We have recently introduced a competency based framework for career progression. This goes from Residential Care Workers to Senior Residential Care Worker. This is a portfolio route following completion of probation/12 months practice.
