Why Rigorous Recruitment is Essential for Quality Care Services
We know that the quality of care we deliver is intrinsically linked to the quality of the staff we recruit and this all begins with a rigorous care recruitment process. It is our approach to meticulous recruitment that shapes the care teams we build across our care agency.
From our local branch and support staff, to nurses, support workers, healthcare assistants, children’s care staff, and learning disability support workers, we recruit every member with the same level of care and attention, always ensuring they embody our core values.
How rigorous recruitment helped build a care recruitment agency you can depend on
Ensuring Competence and Expertise: Excellent care services are built upon the skills and expertise of quality care staff. Nurseplus have developed rigorous care recruitment processes that guarantee only those with the necessary qualifications and experience, and desire to work in care are selected. This ensures our care staff can meet the diverse and complex needs of the people they care for in a variety of services.
Building Trust and Safety: We want to give our clients, the people they care for, and their families total confidence in the care we provide. By conducting thorough background checks and vetting, Nurseplus ensures all our care staff are trustworthy and can be relied upon to create safe environments for everyone involved.
Maintaining High Standards: There’s nothing more important than consistently delivering quality care. Our rigorous care recruitment practices ensure that every team member, including local branch and support staff, uphold the high standards expected in healthcare which ulitmaely leads to consistent and reliable care delivery.
Promoting Passion and Dedication: At Nurseplus, we focus on more than just qualifications and experience. We seek out candidates who are genuinely passionate about delivering quality care. Our dedicated staff are more likely to go above and beyond in their roles, striving to significantly improve patient outcomes and experiences, and succeed in their care careers.
Our Comprehensive Care Recruitment Process
At Nurseplus, we take the time to delve into our candidate’s ability to meet the high standards of support those we care for deserve. Our care recruitment processes ensure that we only provide the best, and here’s how we do it:
Thorough Screening and Interviews
We begin with a meticulous screening process. This assesses each candidate's qualifications, experience, and suitability for the role. We follow this up with in-depth interviews where a candidate's skills are considered alongside their passion for care. We believe that a genuine desire to help others is as important as any qualification or length of experience.
Rigorous Background Checks
The safety and security of our clients, and those you care for is paramount. To give you peace of mind, we conduct comprehensive background checks on all potential care candidates, giving you the time you need to focus on delivering exceptional care services.
These checks include:
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Checks: We perform enhanced DBS checks to ensure that all our staff members are fit to work with vulnerable people.
Right to Work Verification: We verify that all candidates have the legal right to work in the country, adhering to all regulatory requirements.
Reference Checks: We request references from all our candidates to better understand their work experience, their reliability, and their work ethic.
Ongoing Training and Development
Nurseplus invests in our staff to encourage personal and professional development for anyone who wants to work in care. Many of our branch, and network support staff joined Nurseplus as temporary carers and have chosen to go on into supporting roles such as:
Area Managers
Live-in Care Coordinators
and more.
We provide ongoing training and development opportunities to our staff, which ensures they can access online and distance learning courses, as well as apprenticeships in care, leadership, and management. It is our training that ensures all Nurseplus care staff and support staff stay up to date with the latest best practices and advancements in healthcare. Investing staff help them feel valued and appreciated for the wonderful work they do which in turn boosts retention, and helps encourage the delivery of quality care.
Nurseplus Offer Specialised Care Staff
Nurseplus understands that working in care can be challenging, which is why we ensure all our staff undergo mandatory in-house training before being placed for work. Once our mandatory training is complete, support workers, healthcare assistants, children’s care staff, learning disability support workers, and even nurses gain a deeper knowledge of what it takes to provide exceptional care consistently.
Trained Support Workers and Healthcare Assistants
Our support workers and healthcare assistants are trained to provide compassionate and competent care across various settings, from residential care homes and nursing homes, to supported living facilities and community organisations. Our mandatory training covers a wide range of skills, including personal care, medication administration, and emergency response.
Children’s Care Staff
Caring for children requires a unique set of skills and a deep understanding of child development. Our Early Years Training and Children’s Services Training ensures all children’s care staff are not only trained in these areas but are also selected for their ability to connect with and nurture young minds.
Mental Health and Learning Disability Support Workers
Supporting individuals with learning disabilities demands patience, empathy, and specialised knowledge. Our mental health and learning disability support workers can pull on our mandatory training to help them provide personalised care focused on promoting independence and enhancing quality of life.
Now you can see how, through our rigorous care recruitment practices, Nurseplus is able to provide the most skilled, trustworthy, and passionate care professionals. By focusing on thorough screening, background checks, and ongoing training, we know we can confidently provide care staff who are equipped to deliver exceptional care in every situation.
