All staffs are employed by Hazelhead Homecare and are closely supervised by our management. Our care staffs undergo a rigorous selection process including a full disclosure, to insure protection of vulnerable adults and a minimum of two reference checks from professional people. Before starting to help people in their homes our staff are given full 5 day training and induction course, this includes moving and handling, health and safety, personal care and communication skills. This is followed by a course of shadowing where the new carer “shadows” an existing experienced carer for a number of weeks or until such time as the new carer feels competent to work alone. Staffs are employed on 3 months probation before they start further specialist training such as SVQ 2 in care. Many of Hazelhead Homecare’s 300+ staff are working towards SVQ level training in care; training needs are identified through regular appraisal and supervision procedures. We have a reserve bank of fully trained carers who are available at short notice to assist should they be required. Continuing development of staff skills is one of the companies’ main objectives. Professional development training and regular refresher courses are always in progress and this insures a quality and experienced workforce. |
