Recruitment into care

Prepare to Care – Pre employment training
We have been very successful over the last 2 years assisting unemployed people who are interested in working in the care sector with the skills that will equip them for various roles within the care setting.
The pre-employment course for people who:
• Have been thinking about working in care but are not sure what opportunities are open to them
• Would like to return to work but are unsure about what sort of job they could do
• Have been trying to get a job in care but have not yet been successful
• Are looking for a new direction and want to make a difference
• Want a career that will keep you interested throughout their working life, but are not sure where to start
The course gives all the grounding for working in the Health and Social Care profession and can lead to jobs and/or apprenticeships.
The programme is varied and interesting and includes:
• Roles and responsibilities of care worker
• Communication written, verbal and body language
• Inspirational speakers from various care settings
• Information advice and guidance - career pathways
• First aid course
• Moving and handling course
• Food safety course
• Protecting individuals from abuse
• Record keeping, report writing
• Support with completing an application form

New pre-employment courses will be available in 2012, watch this space for further details or contact your Network Development Officer for more information.
