The Good Care Group Careers and Employment

As with any role there will be challenges, but we are here to support you every step of the way. As a Professional live-in carer you will have a dedicated Care Manager who knows you and your client. They will offer support and guidance whilst you are in placement, both over the phone and during face to face supervisions. You will also have access to an emergency on call team 24/7, 365 days a year - there will always be somebody here to support you. We have an online Carer Community that makes it possible for you to stay in touch with your carer colleagues across the country, sharing advice and learnings from your placement. It’s important you also take the time to focus on yourself and your own wellbeing. Whilst in your placement you will have a 2 hour break each day. It’s important you let your Care Manager know if you are not able to take these. We also offer a number of different rota patterns so that you can pick the pattern that you feel will give you the best balance between working and valuable time off with family and friends.

The Live-In Care sector from an employment law perspective operates under what is known as ‘unmeasured hours’. For each placement there will be a daily average hours agreement (DAHA) based on the clients' needs. The purpose of the DAHA is to agree an average number of hours a professional Carer will do in a 24 hour period and for any pay reference period (i.e. a month) - typically the DAHA is either 10 or 12 hours.

All of our carers go through the same process which starts with an online application form. Once we have received this form a member of the recruitment team will be in touch to explain the next steps. We have introduced our One Experience questionnaire which gives you a great insight into the different scenarios you may encounter as a Professional live-in carer with us. The first interview takes place over the phone and the second interview will be arranged via video call (Skype, WhatsApp, Google Hangout or similar). The whole process can be completed in the comfort of your own home. If you are successful at the interview stage you will be booked to attend our 5 day induction course. For most carers this will take place in London; we also hold training in Spain for those carers based in Spain.

After completing your initial online application form you will be contacted by a member of our recruitment team who will guide you through the recruitment process. If you are invited to an interview we can arrange this at a time that is convenient for you, whether this is during the daytime, evening or at the weekend. We will organise a video call by Skype, WhatsApp, Google Hangout or similar. If you are successful you will receive your offer and contract of employment with The Good Care Group; you will also be booked to attend our 5 day induction training course. We hold training at our London office every week and can book you onto the course that works best for you. If you are not local to our office we will organise your accommodation during training and contribute towards your travel. We are regulated by the CQC in England and the Care Inspectorate in Scotland. There will be paperwork to complete throughout the process, including all relevant police checks and references. We have a compliance team in house who will support and guide you through this process to ensure we have everything we need for you to start.
