All Home Managers are required to hold NVQ level 4 or QCF Level 5 in health and social care in addition to attending different management development courses.

At Hennikon Care, we hire only the best people to ensure we provide the highest quality care for our service users. We have a rigorous selection process and all our staff undertake continuous professional development to help them become the best they can be. To this end, staff are required to have a full interview, a satisfactory DBS check and may only commence employment when this has been received, together with satisfactory references. Besides we run an intensive induction programme in line with the “Skills for Care” care certificate programme. We also ensure that all staff are properly trained, and have regular supervision and appraisal.

All our care staff are encouraged and supported to gain qualifications to a minimum of NVQ Level 2 or the QCF (Qualifications and Credit Framework) Level 2 Diploma within 12 months of employment.

Hennikoncare Services

Through the use of Keywork sessions, support planning process and day-to-day contact, staff advise and encourage service users on the essence and need to maintain an appropriate level of social skills, behaviour and personal hygiene.

Hennikon Care staff also support service users in developing their latent skills which include domestic skills to enable them to move on to live more independently in the community.

It is staff’s responsibility to liaise with appropriate clinical and specialist organisations that work and counsel service users on how to cope with their illness and manage their needs. This we do through regular Reviews, CPAs, Out Patients’ appointment and the Support Planning process. A number of behaviour management skills are used by our staff with support from appropriate agencies in dealing with the service users’ behaviour and assessed needs.
