We have registered nurses available to work in the Dorset area, at short notice. All our registered nurses are personally interviewed by a Christchurch Care registered nurse and their credentials evidenced via the NMC employee checking service. Two clinical references are required, in addition to the DBS.
Support Workers
All support workers, regardless of experience, receive a comprehensive induction course which is bespoke to their role and previous experience of care provision. We work closely with a number of local care homes who support our less experienced staff by permitting them to “job shadow” and gain valuable experience.
Registered Nurses and support workers receive mandatory training which includes training in Safeguarding of adults and children, infection control, COSHH, moving and handling, emergency first aid awareness, basic food safety awareness, mental capacity and DoLs, understanding dignity, consent and respect.

Our assistant cooks and kitchen assistants are trained in supporting the kitchen team as necessary, within care homes. They are extremely aware of the additional care required during service, in order to meet the individual needs of service users.
