TRAINING

We have a comprehensive online training programme for our staff which will equip you for the work you need to undertake. We build your mandatory training profile for you whether you are a carer, senior carer or registered nurse. You can then undertake these at your leisure ready for you to start work and get reminders when your training is becoming due again. During the recruitment process we will set you up with your own personal logins so you can access the courses at anytime.

​

We take your personal development seriously and at your appraisal or when you feel that you would like to undertake specific training we can support this.

The Care Certificate assesses the fundamental skills, knowledge and behaviours that are required to provide safe, effective and compassionate care. It will be awarded to staff in health and care roles who can demonstrate that they meet each of the 15 Care Certificate standards, including:

• caring with privacy and dignity

• awareness of mental health (including dementia and learning difficulties)

• safeguarding

• communication

• infection control

The Care Certificate is referred to in the CQC’s guidance as a benchmark of how providers can meet the staffing regulations, and may be actively looked for by CQC inspection teams.

The Care Certificate was a recommendation from the Cavendish review, which made suggestions on how to improve the quality of care provided by health and care support workers in the wake of the failings at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust.

​

We are able to assist carers both new and experienced in attaining the Care Certificate which is fundamental for those wanting to advance in the careers.
