Staff training is at the heart of The Czajka Care Group’s success. By providing comprehensive training, taking into account the specialist needs of our current and prospective residents we can ensure that our staff can provide quality care to all our residents but can develop their skills and progress in the caring profession.

Induction...
All staff are required to take part in our mandatory twelve week induction programme and are also assigned an experienced training officer to mentor them and provide support.

Amongst other things our inductees are taught in induction:

The principles of care: independence, individuality, the importance of choice, privacy, dignity, respect and confidentiality as well as how this can be applied in the care environment.

Health and safety in the work place: infection prevention and control, moving and handling residents, emergency first aid, fire safety, medication and health care procedures.

Recognising and responding to abuse and neglect: legislation, policies and procedures, understanding and recognising the signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect, understanding how to respond to neglect and whistle blowing policy.

Understanding the organisation and role of the worker: GSCC Code of practice and standards expected of a social care worker, working relationships.

Effective Communication: principles of good record keeping, recognising barriers to communications and understanding behaviour as communication.

Developing as a worker: how and where to get advice, understanding purpose and use of supervision, understanding need to gain skills and knowledge and working with line manager to agree personal development plan.

Qualifications...
We help our staff gain the practical experience of working in care while studying to receive their NVQ levels 2, 3. Registered Managers and Deputies in residential care are required to take NVQ Level 4 in care if they are not nurses. Registered Managers must also partake in “Leadership and Management” (LMC) courses.

Because of our ongoing relationship with the University of Bradford we can provide assistance in receiving sponsorships for anyone wishing to enrole in a BSc qualification in Nursing.

Specialist...
At The Czajka Care Group we offer a number of different care specialities whether through palliative, convalescent care, care for young adults with physical disabilities, dementia care.

If you wish to specialise in one particular aspect of care we can help provide not only the training to provide the best possible care-we can also offer you the experience and knowledge of gaining experience and learning as you are working.

We have a working relationship with the Alzheimer’s Society and Age Concern amongst many other organisations, to help provide our residents with specialist care. Whilst many of the courses are free of charge, as part of The Czajka Care Group’s commitment to providing the best possible care we will very often provide full or part financial assistance on any courses designed to provide more specialist care.

Courses include...
