The Key Worker Role
On admission each service user will be allocated a key worker who will be supported by a co-worker. The key worker will be dedicated to only one service user, and the role will involve them in co-coordinating the achievement of that service user's personal care plan in conjunction with other staff.
The key worker is the service user's internal advocate and should develop a close relationship with them. The key worker will regularly monitor and report on progress. They will be responsible for the preparation of all review material, in collaboration with colleagues, relatives, referring agents and independent advocates, where appropriate.
Equal Opportunity
122 Scorer Street operates an equal opportunities policy; this means we value all service users and staff regardless of their sexuality, disability, race, or religion. We also have policies, guidelines, and staff training for respecting the privacy and dignity of our service users.
