People in Tova enjoy active lives with interests like swimming, sensory sessions, music, baking, gardening, drives out, holidays, and more. All require high levels of support including 1:1 and 2:1 assistance with personal care, moving and positioning, and community outings.
Shifts run from 07:00 to 21:00 (typically 07:00–19:00, 08:00–20:00 or 09:00–21:00) with no break, and the rota flexes around the needs, preferences and routines of the people we support, not the other way around. The team works to Norwood’s values of Kindness, Respect, Belonging, and Empowerment.
