The service is home to residents who are non-verbal so it is essential that your communication is clear so you can build relationships and trust with them. Some service users are independent and need prompting to maintain personal hygiene however others have complex needs and require full personal care. There can be some challenging behaviours within the service but they are generally verbal, not physical.
Training is provided by the organisation and is delivered regionally. You may need to travel to attend this. Following commencement of your role all transport expenses incurred to attend training are reimbursed as an expense.
All roles are TTP (Temp-to-Perm) meaning you will work for NDS Healthcare for the first 12 weeks on weekly pay before taking on a permanent contract with our client and switching to monthly pay.
Applicants must have an Enhanced DBS Registered on the update service, if a new DBS is required this cost will be met by the applicant with a £28 up front payment at the application stage and a further £28 deduction from the first weekly wage.
