Edenvale started out as a small business, with one residential care home for seven people with learning disabilities in 1989 in Winchmore Hill, North London. We were so successful in meeting our aims, that we decided to grow and diversify into more independent settings to help people live the lives that they wanted, with as much autonomy as possible.

We have grown from a small team to over 140 employees supporting over 60 clients. All of our staff are highly skilled and passionate about the care they provide, and many also have clinical qualifications. As a minimum:

• All new recruits will achieve the Care Certificate within 3 months of their employment
• New staff shadow more experienced staff, and only start to work with our clients once assessed as being competent to do so

Our staff training and support programme is robust, and includes;

• Mandatory classroom training
• Annual e-learning refreshers
• Annual classroom refreshers
• Shadowing more experienced staff
• Ongoing formal and informal support
• Competency assessments
