We
are very aware at Mind in Croydon that people really are our main
asset. Attracting the right recruits and retaining them is of
paramount importance and ensures that our clients get the best
possible service. The benefits we can offer are a flexible and
genuinely family-friendly environment – many of our staff
work part time, some job share and there are opportunities to
take time off in lieu in order to fit the requirements of the
job around one’s home life. A lot is talked of ‘home
life balance’ – at Mind in Croydon this is a reality.
Training
and Development
We have a highly trained human resources department which
believes that good people management is essential. All staff receive
a full induction programme in line with the new ‘Care Standards
Act’. This involves both internal induction to all our projects
and external visits to related agencies so that staff are familiar
with our ‘partners’ within the borough of Croydon,
and understand how we work with them. There are regular supervisions,
appraisals and staff are fully trained and encouraged to become
experts in their field. For example, the head of our Welfare Benefits
Service sits as a member of the Appeals Service Tribunal. Recently
we have enabled individual members of staff to train for Diplomas
in Social Work, Diplomas in Counselling and the Chartered Institute
of Personnel Development’s Diploma in Human Resource Management.
We have a number
of policies to ensure we meet best practice guidelines generally.
It is also our aim to actively encourage diversity in aspects
such as ethnicity, age, and disability, to ensure that our staff
complement our client group.
