Our Training Instructor
Sammi our dedicated in house RGN has worked in nursing for a few years and has been a care worker herself. Her considerable experience means she has a strong understanding of the role she is training for.
Your Full Induction
At NR Care, we give all of our new care workers a full five day induction. Delivered in house by our instructor Sammi (RGN), our induction is based around the 15 standards of the Care Certificate introduced in April 2015. Designed to give you a solid grounding in your responsibilities as a care worker, the Care Certificate training is delivered through a classroom based programme and you’ll receive a workbook documenting your progress.

After the five days’ Care Certificate training, you must complete at least two shifts shadowed by an experienced care worker, often a senior care worker. You can’t start working alone until you have done this and your Care Certificate workbook has been signed off as complete by your assessor. If you don’t feel ready to start working alone after the two shifts, that’s not a problem – you can do the shadowed work for as long as it takes you to gain the confidence to work alone. At NR Care, we don’t think there’s a ‘one size fits all’ training plan, just like we don’t think there’s a ‘one size fits all’ care plan. Your assessor and the rest of our team will be here to support you.
You will receive a bonus for passing probation and signing up to the DBS Update.
