About Thornbury Community Services

Working at Thornbury allows me to work with conscientious hardworking professionals, which is great. The nurse rates of pay are excellent too, and I can pick and choose the hours I want

Absolutely fantastic company to work for. They really appreciate their workers, offer great rates of pay and really good training. I highly recommend!

More often than not, my working days are very varied. It keeps my role very exciting. My colleagues and I will take the client out for breakfast in the morning, and then we will usually spend a few hours, if not the full day, trying a fun activity. We always take him out for fun activities such as swimming, water parks, and walks on the beach. It’s great to witness this kind of happiness and see him grow as a person. No day is the same or boring, and that’s something I really love about my role.

My favourite thing about my role is the people we support. I have never met two individuals alike. Each has their own likes, dislikes, and interests which makes my role really varied and enjoyable. I love witnessing the progress the people we care for make and how they achieve things that may seem second nature to others but is an incredible achievement for them.

I love my role as an RNLD Clinical Lead because it allows me to support our clients in the community and oversee their care delivered by our passionate healthcare professionals. I witness our clients lead a better quality of life under the supervision of the TCS teams, and it’s incredibly rewarding.

An important part of my role at TCS is ensuring our client has a voice. This means finding creative and bespoke ways to share their thoughts and feelings. We use many tools to support this, including written language dictionaries, social stories, and creating a video for the client around communication. It is incredible how much the client’s communication has improved during my time caring for him, and I cannot wait to find new ways to help him communicate more and share his thoughts with us.

“I love the incredibly supportive team that we have here at TCS. There is always someone there to help, and there is a general “can-do” attitude; this attitude is shared through the teams and ultimately benefits and enriches the lives of the people we care for. The clinical lead role promotes a level of autonomy that I have never received in my previous nursing roles; I love the feeling of value that that gives me.”

Working as a Mental Health Clinical Lead at Thornbury Community Services, I am responsible for managing our clients care and ensuring they receive high-quality bespoke care and support from our mental health nurses and support workers.

To be a great mental health nurse, I believe you should aim to work collaboratively with the client, their family and wider support networks to encourage effective relationship building and enable recovery whilst enhancing the client’s quality of life through the delivery of person-centred care.

By listening to our clients, we can communicate more effectively to ensure he has the best quality of life. Over the past year, our clients has visited the cinema every month. We have taught him the months of the year and that he can go to exciting and fun places. We manage any obstacle together to ensure it is an enjoyable experience. We now have a movie board in his home for all the films that come out for the year.
