Crossroads Care Bucks and Milton Keynes…

Currently provides services for nearly 450 clients in the Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes area, with our primary aim of providing short term breaks for carers in the home. We believe that high expectations and high quality relationships are two of the most important factors which contribute to the success of Crossroads Care Bucks and Milton Keynes. We are therefore looking for staff who share this philosophy and who are committed to “going the extra mile” for our clients, as well as having a strong commitment to continuing personal development.

Crossroads Care – The Employer

  • We give you time to do your job – 90% of our calls are a minimum of 1 hour so that the client is not rushed and you have time to establish a relationship without worrying about rushing off to the next visit.
  • We pride ourselves on encouraging the career and personal development of our staff through regular training in all aspects of care from mandatory to more specialised courses such as dementia care.
  • We support our staff in undertaking NVQ 2 and 3 as part of their ongoing development within the scheme.
  • We offer competitive rates of pay and reward you for attaining qualifications.
  • We aim to offer you continuity of clients so that you can develop a meaningful partnership with the people you care for.
  • We support you through your own manager who you will be able to contact on a day to day basis.
  • We aim to recruit and retain the very best staff to come and work for us.

In order that we can continue to provide the best quality staff and care for our clients, all applicants are required to undergo extensive references, including a full ‘CRB’ and ‘ISA Adult First’ check prior to commencement of employment. In addition to this we also require new staff to undertake a full 5 day Induction Training Course, which includes all your initial mandatory training, together with a Crossroads Induction and satisfactory shadow training, prior to commencing individual work with our clients.

If you can offer a minimum of 16 flexible hours a week, are reliable, committed, enthusiastic and want to help make a difference for vulnerable and disabled people in your community, then we would love to hear from you.
