Training
Every staff member is subject to a formal induction (and if necessary training) programme. This process ensures that all staff are qualified and competent in key areas such as moving & handling, health & safety, basic life support, infection control and food hygiene.
An ongoing programme of accredited training courses enables candidates to continue to meet our strict quality criteria. For our clients, this means they can be confident that all the personnel we provide are equipped with the most up-to-date skills.
