Induction & Probation

We appreciate that the people who work in our residential care homes are our most important resource and that the quality of our services depend on our employees feeling confident and supported in their work.

We aim to achieve this right from the word ‘go’, therefore all new staff complete a week long induction held at our Head Office. This includes:

 

• An introduction to our service, philosophy and expectations
• Internal and external policies
• Health and Safety in the Care Home
• Autism training
• An introduction to Epilepsy
• Safeguarding Adults training
• An opportunity to meet with the Directors to give feedback and ask any questions

 

Induction continues with 2 weeks of shadow shifts in the home, giving an opportunity for new staff and the young people in our care to get to know each other, gain trust and confidence.

Our formal induction should be completed after 12 weeks of ongoing support and mentoring within the home, whilst probation continues for a further 3 months.
