Care workers are frequently the only people that a customer may see on a daily basis and it is the responsibility of the care worker to report any relevant information back to the supervisor. It is not the role of a care worker to become involved in notifying the family, friends or relative of changes.

All care workers must:

• Work according to the code of conduct and their individual contract
• Follow the policies and procedures set out by ‘The Helping Hands care services‘
• Write report of all duties done and only do specific task set out in the care plan for the customer

Key competencies

• To be able to attend all customer calls

Anyone who does not genuinely care about the welfare of other people will not be suitable for these posts. The company will provide uniform, identity badges and other equipment required to carry out the role e.g., disposable gloves and aprons.

Successful applicants will undergo a thorough induction-training for three days and a writing test to assess innumeracy and English language, which will be helpful for the QCF's. They will be required to take part in the monthly mandatory professional development training day for all staff of the company.

All care workers will be expected to sit for and pass the QCF 2 after 6 months in the company. The company will assist and support the staff to achieve their professional aim within reasonable period.

Please not that we celebrate our staff yearly. ‘The best staff of the year’ as voted by the clients, ‘The carers with no sick off in the year’ and ‘Best team worker’ will all be awarded gifts at the end of year.
