How Care 2 U Recruit
All of our employees are strictly vetted before they are employed by Care 2 U. Not only do we seek and look for professionally qualified employees but we seek those who show compassion and commitment. This reflects our reputation for the very highest quality of service and support that we offer and deliver.
All management and senior staff are trained in recruitment and selection along with equality and diversity. This ensures they have the knowledge and skills required to conduct thorough interviews of each potential employee. A minimum of two professional references are obtained and verified and only upon receipt of satisfactory references and a full Disclosure and Barring Service check are employees offered employment.
All successful candidates attend our intensive Induction Training programme at our Office. The topics covered include,
- The Care Certificate (2015)
- Role of the Care Worker
- Personal Development
- Communicating effectively
- Equality & Inclusion
- Principles for implementing duty of care
- Principles of safeguarding in Health & Social Care
- Person centred support
- Health & Safety in an adult social care setting
The care worker spends time with an experienced carer shadowing in a Service Users home. Once the initial training is completed and competence assessed, all employees commence their individual and continual development through training. This ensures that they can demonstrate their knowledge and competency required for caring for specific conditions.
The company employs a wide ranging and ethnically diverse staff base to ensure it meets the needs of Service Users.
The company manages delivery of care through the role of Team Leaders who provide, support and lead teams of Care Workers within their individual designated areas.
Designating Team Leaders as an effective key worker role ensures that continual monitoring, review and evaluation of care delivery remains Service User led and focuses on the outcomes to be achieved.
Team Leaders also support Service Users within their designated areas of the borough. By coordinating care delivery within a team, they can maximise capacity and provide continuity of Care Workers.
Service Users are supported by a team of care workers, which is led by a specific Team Leader.
Team Leaders and care staff work with Service Users and their representatives to maximise the aims, needs and aspirations set in the support plan to achieve them within the time and budgetary constraints.
Having a designated Team Leader ensures that Service Users and family members are able to discuss support plans, needs or concerns with a familiar senior member and build a rapport.
