Our Ethos
We are passionate about our business and we are passionate about doing exactly what it says on the tin…we get it right! At Opportunities we do things differently, we’re passionate about our business and it shows. Whatever you need, talk to us.
The Opportunities success is based on:-
- Attention to detail
- Investing in employee training
- Taking a positive approach
- Being adaptable and flexible
- Open communications
- Outstanding attention to detail
And we think you’ll be impressed!!
We don’t use agency staff so no third parties, and control and responsibility begins and ends with us. So whatever package you are looking for we can work with you for the overall end result to reflect the plan.
Opportunities give you:-
- Affordable competitive care
- Personally tailored care
- Well trained experienced staff
Opportunities provide an individual plan for each person based on a Person Centred approach. We recognise that each person is a unique individual and we respect the rights, wishes, feeling and needs of each person. The targets and aims are agreed with each person, their Social Worker and any significant others. Any achievements are acknowledged and “presented back” and rewarded, helping to keep people focused and motivated. People are expected to take a full and active part in all aspects of their service. Any activities that people feel they no longer wish to participate in can be changed and something new tried.
Staff are expected to give service of the highest quality care to people and others at all times. Dignity and respect comes as standard. This will include staff treating all people with courtesy and respect; attending to the individual needs of people for their care, comfort and support; supplying information and co-operation with others for the best interests of people and constantly having regard for the impact of their own behaviour both on the welfare of the individual person and the standing of the organisation in general.
