The induction course is aimed at new employees within the care
industry where there is no previous, or very little, experience
in a formal care role. The object of this course is to provide
the new employee with structured induction to include all
mandatory training requirements.
Benefit to the employer. The new employee becomes an
effective and efficient member of the team in a much shorter
length of time avoiding the use of valuable resources on
supervision, training and correction of problems. It also
reduces the turn over of staff and supports stability as the new
employee adjusts more rapidly to the care environment.
Benefit to the employee. This course provides the new
employee with a sense of worth within the workplace, an obvious
and immediate increase in confidence and the feeling of
“belonging” as an active member of the team. This course can
provide the new employee with the insight that training is
continuous within care and may be the first experience of
positive learning leading to N.V.Qs and a career in care.
In order to meet the requirements of Skills for Care the new employee must
provide evidence that they gained knowledge and practice in a wide
variety of care activities. They must also provide evidence of
understanding of the knowledge gained. For these reason the course has
two elements.
