Medstar was founded in 1990 and has worked in partnership with NHS and Social Services in London boroughs and the South East. ... We have been providing long and short-term support to some of the most vulnerable individuals in London and surrounding counties. Every new service user’s experience is one we want to be as familiar to them in comfort as each one of our established service users’ experiences are to be new, fresh and engaging. Each service we acquire, and run is built upon the local community’s values. We respect these values as they are essential in the integration of our service users in the community they choose to stay. Our Service users are the core of our services and are part of our family and are the heart and soul of Medstar. This is mainly through: • Choice of where they would like to live, who they want to support them and how they want to be supported. • Empowerment: Rights of service users are respected and highlighted. We work alongside service user led organisations to further individual rights. • Engagement: We provide volunteering opportunities for our service users and carers. This may be in house and through local voluntary organisations. For any organisation to thrive, it must have a dedicated and motivated workforce. Medstar is proud to have one of the lowest staff turnovers in the field. We do not employ agency support staff, and instead choose to invest in permanent staff. We understand there is life outside of work so we offer flexible working patterns for our staff which for some may be a couple of hours a week, a day or two, or full time working week. We only employ staff that are professional, empathetic, care for the needs of service users and have clearance through the DBS. Our competitive rates for paying staff ensure the remuneration of good work done. We offer support through supervision and training. Medstar is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes all individuals from all walks of life regardless. read more
