THE RECRUITMENT STEPS
Assessment and Application
The first step of our recruitment process is the assessment stage where prospective candidates are assesed on their written English. If a candidate is deemed suitable after the assessment, they will be given an application form to fill in the office.
Interview
At the interview stage your suitability for this role will be determined. The interview itself is semi-formal and not at all daunting. You will have enough time to ask questions and to find out more about the company.
DBS Application
If your interview is successful the next stage will be to apply Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Employment will depend on a satisfactory outcome.
Training
Once your CRB application has been submitted, you will be invited to an intensive 3 day training were you will be introduced to the principles of home care amongst other training.
Shadowing
Progression to this stage is dependent on the outcome of DBS check. If the disclosure is unsatisfactory you can't progress with the application and we will have to end the process. At this stage you will shadow one or more of our carers for 3 days to see what you have learnt from the training in practise. This means you will go with those carers to all their calls to learn our way of working.
Contract
On successful completion of the shadowing you will sign a contract of employment.
