Required Training

Required training is client specific. It is organised to address the training needs for the employee which is individual to one specific client. It is arranged after a full needs assessment has been completed by the clinician. A training needs analysis will be completed during assessment and an individualised training plan will then be agreed with the care worker.

Required training can be delivered through a number of platforms including classroom based, 1:1 or eLearning or via the Teams video conferencing software. The training may be provided by our Regional Clinical Educators using internally developed training programmes or via external specialist trainers. For example:-

On completion of theoretical training staff will be supported through shadow shifts, clinically supervised shifts and then will be assessed by a suitably qualified health professional to enable competency assessment and delegation of task, specific to the individual client and the client care and support plan.

Ongoing assessment will be monitored through clinical supervision and annual renewal of competency which is mandatory and failure to comply may result in removal from assigned shifts until this has been completed.
