There is a multi stage selection process for carers which means that we only accept the best. We check the details provided on application by the carer, we then have a telephone interview and finally a face to face interview which includes scenario testing, DBS check (which must be unblemished) and traditional interview techniques. We also check references of previous employers. The carer must score highly in the following personal qualities in order to make it onto the website: responsibility/trustworthiness, punctuality/professionalism, patience/cheery demeanour, good at listening/communicating, kind/compassionate. We only accept carers who we’d be happy to have looking after our own loved ones.
