- Working collaboratively with young people, parents/carers and multi\-agency partners to develop a shared understanding of the young person’s story
- Developing safety plans with young people, parents and carers
- Working closely with networks of professionals such as Children’s Social Care, CAMHS and education providers to ensure the appropriate level of support is in place
- Providing supervision and leadership to junior members of the team
Annual staff surveys, regular Pulse surveys and other engagement opportunities provide our people with lots of opportunity to tell us about their experiences of working with us. In the latest staff survey, 61% of colleagues gave us their views. It was great to hear that:
72% of colleagues would recommend the Trust as a place to work, ranking us 1st for Provider Trusts in the South West region on this question.
76% would recommend the standard of care provided in our services if a friend or relative needed treatment, also ranking us 1st in the South West region.
81% said that care of patients and service users is the Trust’s priority, compared with an average in comparable NHS Trusts in England of 64%.
This high\-level overview shows we are in a healthy position, with higher scores than average for comparable organisations, alongside a great response rate, indicating good staff engagement. However, we also know we have plenty of room for improvement in many areas. To that end, we continue to prioritise and invest in our commitment to genuinely becoming a Great Place to Work with consistent top\-quartile performance in the annual staff survey and Pulse surveys.
