Training

When we take on a new member of staff they undergo the “Skills for Care” Care Certificate which complies with the Care Quality Commissions Essential Standards of Quality and Safety. As well as Health and Social Care Act 2008.

Rainbow Medical Services Ltd is committed to providing on-going training and development programmes to ensure staff are skilled and competent to provide care to service users. New staff joining RMS not only needs to learn about their own tasks and roles but also need support in gaining confidence and how to  fit into the our organisation. All new employees regardless of background and experience must undertake RMS induction programme and all mandatory training.

Prior to working alone with Client / service users, a new member of staff receives a minimum of a 12 weeks programme of supervised and unsupervised work, which includes shadowing an experienced staff members working with a Client / service users. We provide between 1 and 2 weeks “shadowing” calls where you will observe more experienced careers in different caring and support situations. They will be able to watch, listen and learn and put into practice some of the skills they have learned already.

To ensure our staff continues to develop in their careworker role, RMS recognise on-going training is extremely valuable to both the care workers in their career development and to Rainbow in maintaining the standards and excellence of care we provide to our clients.
