• Knowing ourselves.  Each member of the team sees and takes ownership of their development needs.   We work together with the team to address these needs and provide any required training.   

• There is no ‘I’ in ‘Team’.  Although we may work as individuals, we encourage our team to invest in building relationships with their colleagues.  Working as a team we can instil the beliefs that together we can be the best that we can be.  

Continuity Care Scotland believes that by developing as individuals and investing in our team maintains the ethos of the company. 

Our support workers believe that the client always comes first and the tasks that are to be completed are necessary to improve the quality of their clients’ lives.  

We have a diverse team of support workers which allows for more options in selecting the correct person for you.  

Continuity Care Scotland’s support workers have a desire to care for others and they are carefully selected on the following basis:

• Common sense.  This is essential and helps to build an understanding and gain empathy.

• Reliability.  We seek professionalism and commitment in all aspects of the business.

• Positivity.  We find good communicators who are warm hearted and patient.

All support workers must have satisfactory references and be fully PVG (Protecting Vulnerable Groups) compliant before being invited for training.  Full classroom based training spread over five days is given to all of our support workers regardless of their background and past experiences.  On satisfactory completion of classroom training our support workers will work for two weeks in the community supervised by a qualified support worker.  On satisfactory completion of this a meeting with our service manager will be arranged to welcome our new recruit to the Continuity Care Scotland family.
