Supportive colleagues
There is a strong team spirit in Guild Care and you will be well supported by your colleagues as you face the challenges of your new role. Each service has a well developed management team that will help you to excel within your role. You can expect supervisors and managers to Promote Fairness, be Approachable and Supportive, give Positive Feedback, Address Problems, Implement Policies and focus on Quality Service - PAPA IQ.
Listening to you
We will give you plenty of opportunities to make your voice heard within an organisation that welcomes and values comments and suggestions from its staff. Guild Care is committed to an open approach to the management of the organisation and supports this commitment through wide access to information via the in-house website and a monthly newsletter for staff, as well as direct feedback mechanisms to the Chief Executive and a Staff Forum.
Supporting you
Probation and induction
All new staff have a six month induction and probationary period. During this time you will be given plenty of opportunity to access training and information relevant to your new role. All managers work closely with new recruits to ensure that they successfully complete their probationary periods.
Supervision
New staff receive regular supervision during their probationary period and either monthly or bi-monthly supervision thereafter. Supervision at Guild Care is a dynamic two-way process based on a shared agenda.
Appraisal
You will also receive an annual appraisal which will be used to identify your personal development plans and set clear targets and goals for your work.
