Removing Barriers, Creating Equality and Promoting Autonomy

Changing home care for the better.

Who We Are

Amini Care Services was founded by Social Work England registered Transition Social Workers with extensive experience working with young people with complex needs and behaviours that may be deemed to be challenging. We supported former Looked After Children (LAC) and children with disabilities to transition to adult social care.
Our services are based on the social model of disability with the understanding that disability is a social construct. We recognise that barriers pose a challenge to individuals with special needs, we make it our mission to remove these barriers, create equality and offer our clients more independence, choice and control over their lives. The model says that people are disabled by barriers in society, not their impairment or differences. These can be a physical barrier or people’s attitudes to difference.

Mission and Vision Statement

We aim to support young people remove barriers, create equality and promote their autonomy.

We offer independent social care assessments, NHS Continuing HealthCare assessments and reviews, support planning, outreach support and supported accommodation.

Where we are now

We are a trusted provider for over 600 individuals who receive our services. We support people with a range of needs right across London, all delivered from our Head Office in London, England, EC1V 2NZ . Growth has come thanks to our excellent reputation among a local network of referrers, from community groups, social workers and advocates.

We have a large team of wonderful carers, many of whom I know personally, who have a range of interests and backgrounds. We’ll try to match your needs and interests with those of your carer. We also pay our carers very well so as to attract the most caring and empathetic carers for you. Our carers are well trained and receive regular support to ensure they meet our very high standards.

Further to this, we train, supervise and support carers once they are in our employees to ensure they continue to meet our very high standards, this includes:

A comprehensive 5 day induction training

Annual refresher training in dementia, care of medicine, safeguarding and patient handling techniques

Enrolment in Health and Social Care NVQ courses (62% of our carers have attained formal qualifications and nearly 20% are studying now)

Our commitment to support and training has been recognised by our CQC inspector, who said the following: “All the staff files we looked at contained good evidence of regular supervision and staff told us that they felt supported and encouraged by the agency… All staff had completed annual mandatory training in core skills and health and safety topics”

We take time to understand our customer’s needs and wishes and then match them with the carer(s) who have the relevant skills. We also know how important it is to build a rapport between customers and carers, so try to match personality traits. We also understand the importance of having a small group of regular carers for each customer, this is a key determinant to quality and is therefore tightly managed. Here is what our CQC inspector said: ‘Managers ran a weekly continuity check to ensure that people were receiving care from a small number of staff and took this into account in setting rotas.’
