For anyone new to care, we then offer two weeks support working alongside an experienced HCSW in clinical practice, learning the role before being included in the staffing numbers. We will support you to achieve a Care Certificate during your first few months if you do not already have one. The care certificate takes you through 15 different standards such as patient confidentiality and nutrition and hydration. Anyone who wishes to progress may be supported to achieve a Health and Social Care qualification, in partnership with Keighley College on our apprenticeship programme.

There are further development opportunities if you are interested, with career pathways to become a Nursing Associate and Registered Nurse.
