Self-Directed support is all about giving you, the recipient of care services and your family more choice, control and flexibility over how you receive you support and care. The success of Self-Directed Support has a number of challenges ahead but particularly around the recruitment and retention of staff. The current funding levels have limited the care sector in developing competitive terms and conditions and a rewarding career structure. Future demands will require a workforce that has the necessary skills, qualifications and mobility in order to meet the growth of the number of older people requiring care at home.
Sutton Care Solutions believe that our staff are our most important asset and by investing in them we are able to ensure the highest standard of service delivery to our clients. Despite the challenges facing providers we offer a paid induction period, ongoing training and continued support to all our staff. Our developed career path includes an individually tailored training programme, supervision and annual appraisals which allows staff pay increases as they become more experienced.
We are seeking enthusiastic, genuine and reliable carers to join our team. This role offers you the opportunity to use your skills and experience to help some of the most vulnerable in our community and to make a significant difference to the quality of their lives. You will be a positive adaptable individual with excellent interpersonal and observational skills and able to work on your own. Successful candidates will share our ethos, attitude and will always be willing to go the extra mile for our clients. We believe caring for others is highly valued, whether in a professional or informal capacity.
We provide full training, mentoring and support to all our staff and further opportunities of career development through additional training and qualifications like SVQs.
