Many care assistants hold Level II NVQ in Care. The Home also employs domestic staff, administrative staff and family support staff.

Vale House has an ongoing commitment to training with a well structured development programme for all staff who are encouraged to attend appropriate study days, courses and conferences

We are pleased to have strong links with outside bodies such as Oxford Brookes University and the Alzheimers Society.
