What we can offer you

It makes sense that our clients can only receive our first-class service if our staff are equally valued too. With that in mind we offer excellent career progression opportunities. structured training and development and a competitive pay and rewards structure. And of course, a friendly, team-focused ethos is a given.

• We offer work which is paid on an hourly basis and we have some work which is paid according to the shift worked.
• We have introduced an auto-enrolment pension scheme in accordance with recent Government legislation.
• We provide uniform, ID badges and name badges free of charge.
• We provide flexible working whereby, with adequate notice, you can change your availability according to changes in your own circumstances.
• Training is a key part of what we provide – all carers are given a full induction, including training as appropriate (depending if the carer has previous experience or not) and all carers are asked to complete annual refresher training. In addition we encourage staff to train for a professionally recognised qualification (such as Level 2 or 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care).  We pay our carers during training (which many other care providers do not do).
• Once new staff have completed their induction, they do work shadowing with an experienced carer. Competency assessments, spot checks, quarterly supervisions and annual appraisals are all keys ways in which we can ensure that your career is progressing in the right direction.
• Referral bonus – we offer £100 to any carer who introduces a new carer to the company plus another £100 if the new carer stays with us 6 months or more.
• We pay on a monthly basis (either 4 or 5 weeks) with payments directly into your Bank account. Holiday pay is calculated according to your monthly earnings and is separately disclosed on your payslip so that you know exactly how much is owed to you from one month to the next.

Remote working can be intimidating for some – especially when starting care for the first time – so we will remain in close contact with you in your early weeks; a more experienced carer will shadow your calls and provide on-the-job training as required until you and we are confident you are ready to make calls on your own.  Our On call manager will be contactable during all times of your visits and the company’s policies and procedures are available in the library section of the Careberry carer app that you will use to complete your visits so that you can check for yourself what you should be doing in any given situation – and of course you can always call the Office or the On call manager if you need advice.
