Our Staff
When an individual applies for a position
with Dovetail Care Services, we ascertain if the applicant is suitable for the
position for which they have applied. Part of our interview process establishes
the applicants previous employment history, their abilities and any previous training
within the caring profession. A full induction course is then completed to ensure the
carer is familiar with the duties they will be performing, the training they will undertake
or a refresher course as required. A police check is also conducted for security.
Our staff are trained to make suggestions for
improvements to a clients' care. This may relate to equipment which may be required,
adapting items in the home, or personal care such as toileting or bathing issues.
These suggestions are made to improve the quality of life for the client.
