Training in care work isn’t a tick-box exercise for us. It’s how we protect the people we look after and the people delivering that care. Every new carer goes through a structured induction before they’re ever placed with a client alone.
Structured Induction
Before anyone works alone, they go through induction covering safeguarding, safe medication support, moving and handling, risk assessment, documentation standards, and professional boundaries. This isn’t a slide deck they sit through once. It’s supervised practice, competency checks, and time shadowing experienced carers before we sign anyone off.
Ongoing Development
Training doesn’t stop after induction. Carers get refresher training on core competencies, and additional training when a client’s needs call for it, for example dementia care, end-of-life support, or specific medical conditions. If we place someone with a complex care need, we make sure the carer has the specific training that need requires, not just a general care qualification.
Professional Development and Compliance
We keep training records for every member of staff and track when refreshers are due, so nothing lapses quietly. Supervision and appraisal are built into how Tebby manages the team, not an annual formality. Carers who want to develop further, whether that’s additional qualifications or a step toward more senior roles, get support to do that.
