Staff
How to Identify our Staff
In order to help the public identify our staff members they will wear colour coded uniforms. All members of staff will also carry a company ID card.
Navy - Management Staff
All of our staff members who wear Navy tunics are in a position of management responsibility. These staff have at least an NVQ 3 in health and social care (or other relevant qualification) although most will have level 4 and higher qualifications either from an NVQ awarding body or Higher Education Institute.
Royal Blue - Registered Nurse / Assistant Practitioner
These members of staff have undertaken professional training either as a nurse or an assistant practitioner. Assistant practitioners, while not professionally registered have undertaken a course of study at degree level and have achieved practical competence in a wide range of areas. Assistant Practitioners will not only support Registered Nurses but also have their own supervised case load. The provision of this level of staff allows the service to deliver evidence based nursing care for a wide range of people with an equally wide range of needs.
Jade Green - Healthcare Assistants
Staff members in jade green tunics are members of our skilled team of healthcare assistants. They are responsible for most of the day to day provision of our services and are the members of the team you are likely to see the most of. They will work in 2 main ways. For the provision of our domiciliary care service, healthcare assistants will work largely autonomously. They will provide a range of planned care activities but also have the scope to support service users outside of their normal care plan without the need for authorisation. When providing care for service users with extended needs requiring nursing care, they will work under the direction of a registered nurse.
