CDR Services has a commitment of care towards all staff and for each member to be recognised as a valuable member of the team with shared objectives of highest possible quality of care and compassion.
Through a robust recruitment and selection policy the agency undertakes to employ people with requisite skills, education, training, prior work experience and attitude which will complement and enhance the quality of service we deliver. All staff are provided with an induction training programme and further ongoing training, appraisal, supervision and support as needed. All job applicants are required to apply for enhanced disclosure from the Criminal Records Bureau in order that the agency may be satisfied that they are appropriate persons to look after clients.
Our staff are qualified at NVQ level 2 and have additional training to instil the ‘reabling’ ethos. The ethos demands that reablement assistants have a less ‘hands-on’ approach, enabling people to (re)learn activities, gaining the strength and confidence to do them independently. Our staff are trained in ‘doing with’ rather than ‘doing for’ the people they support. They have mentoring and training with a focus on meeting user-defined needs which helps to keep the emphasis on assisting users to regain their skills and abilities.
Our staffing levels will be determined by demand.
