With Care Staff Services we have a rigorous recruitment process. Each staff member has a phone interview and then invited in for an in-depth interview. Each carer is put through rigorous reference checks, a fully enhanced DBS check and training which includes induction all the mandatory subjects but we also add other subjects through the year that will help the carers better understand how to support and care for our service users. They are put on shadowing and assessed before they are able to work independently. We also carry out quizzes on a regular basis to refresh their knowledge and top up on training where needed.

As per our rigorous check we make sure all our staff must have the following:

• Fully Enhanced DBS Checked
