We will pay for the initial DBS fee, currently £59.60 We will ask that you sign up to the automatic update service (£13 per year).

If you leave our emloyment within the first three months we will reserve the right to charge back all or a portion of the £59.60 but after three months there will be no charge.

No. We do not believe in our staff wearing uniform. if you were out in the community and just wanted to be part of it, would you want someone in uniform with you?

No?

Neither would we. All our Staff wear is casual clothing to best suit the environment they are in, we do have a dress code in our staff handbook. Please look through this on our "STAFF" page

For domicillary care workers, you may be required to wear a tabbard that we provide. Some service users do not like staff to wear a uniform while others do.

To some degree, we have permanent, temporary and zero hours contracts to suit the services we provide. We will normally ask what hours you would like to work during the recruitment process and if successful we will endeavour to operate within this as best we can.

However the support we provide is completely flexible and tailored around each individual, so this can change and we do expect a degree of flexibility with our staff to enable us to provide the best service we can.

We have a great level of staff retention, and do firmly beleive that the hours, shifts and work we offer is right for each person 

We work in many areas and with many people, it would not necessarily be an automatic exclusion but it may mean worknig in certain areas is not allowed due to the nature of the conviction.

We abide fully with the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and all subsequent legislation, we work closely with many ex-offenders and like to think we can support everyone.

We will always assess every person on an individual basis with the information we have in front of us, and will never recruit with any discrimination or  prejudice

No, we will provide all the necessary training to undertake the role including all induction to the standards of the Care Certificate and many other courses for the role.

Some of the best support workers come from varied and different backgrounds, we truly beleive in transferable skills and personal values.

If you have the right values and views we would love to hear from you.
