Staff
Our team of dedicated and passionate carers provide our service users with a high level of care and support. We have teams of carers allocated to different areas within the community to ensure that continuity is maintained as much as possible, this also makes sure that the person-centred approach that we value so highly as a care provider is delivered.
All members of our teams are trained to a high level, which is continuous, and their development is progressive throughout their career with the company. They achieve the Care Certificate as required through Skills for Care and once completing a successful six-month probationary period, are enrolled on to the Level 2 or 3 Qualification in Health and Social Care.
Some of our more senior staff members have achieved a Train the Trainer qualification in tasks such as Moving People Safely, Infection Control, Continence, Nutrition Using PEG Feeding, Basic Stoma Care, Skin Care and Prevention of Pressure Ulcers.
