Working together to share our values, knowledge, and expertise to provide an individualised and creative service for adults who have a learning disability. We focus on continually building skills and independence from strengths, gifts and talents.

For people who have a learning disability to be informed and empowered to live the life they choose within their community and achieve their goals, aspirations, and dreams.

Dedicated individualised high-quality support: I will treat everyone as an individual tailoring the support I provide, responding to their developing needs, and helping them achieve the outcomes that matter to them. Whilst continually encouraging positive risk taking I will take the appropriate measures to maintain safety for everyone. 

Enthusiastic and motivated with positive attitudes: I will adopt a solution focused approach in all areas. I will demonstrate a “can do” attitude and no matter the challenges faced I will maintain a positive and proactive outlook, and support others to do the same.  

Promoting people’s strengths, creativity, and contribution: I will recognise my own and other people’s strengths; reflecting people’s interests, skills, and experiences. I will think creatively to provide opportunities to utilise and develop these, with a focus on increasing individual independence and resilience. I will notice, celebrate, share, and record people’s achievements, appreciating the significance of these to the individual. I will encourage meaningful contribution and involvement within the organisation and the wider community.

Always ready and willing to listen, learn, develop, and grow: I will actively seek out and listen to any information communicated to me by whatever means, taking every opportunity to continuously learn and improve. I am committed to my own learning and development, and recognise my role in supporting others to learn and develop too; achieving personal, collaborative, and organisational growth.

Demonstrating and promoting dignity, respect, and compassion for everyone: I will demonstrate dignity, respect, and compassion in everything that I do, continually promoting best practice. I will recognise people’s rights; respecting and supporting the choices they make. I will promote the importance of equality, treating everyone equally, whilst valuing them as a unique individual and understanding the importance of their identity. I will be considerate to the impact changes can have on an individual, and manage these sensitively with an empathic approach. I will develop caring and positive relationships, applying flexibility and engaging in meaningful communication.

We aim to always maintain our integrity: I will take responsibility for my own practice and actions, following any professional codes applicable to me. Any decisions that I make will be informed by the organisation’s family led philosophy, taking into consideration our history, purpose, and vision, and will be made in the best interests of the organisation. I will contribute to the organisation’s open, honest, and supportive culture and will demonstrate these factors of integrity in everything I do, understanding that I am always representing the organisation, and recognising the integral part I play in Team Spire.
