Our carers are vital to our success. Join us for a rewarding career and ongoing training
Our Induction Training
Becoming a care provider is a very rewarding career for those people who possess the key attributes to be a good carer and it is very rewarding for us to be part of that journey, meeting, training and developing our carers and watching the strong relationships they form with our clients.
Our carers are vital to our success and good training is at the heart of what we do and why it works.
Your blended training programme
Our induction training is unique in the industry and is what makes us stand out from other care providers in the UK. We make sure you are fully trained with the knowledge and practical skills to enable you to provide live-in care with confidence to support our clients at home.
We offer free accommodation during your practical training which gives you the opportunity to focus solely on your training and to meet members of our head office team and other carers who will be joining you on your journey as a East West Carer. Many of our carers become firm friends during their stay and look forward to meeting up again when they return for their annual training refresher course.
Whether you are completely new to care or have some prior experience, your time on the programme will ensure you learn everything you need to know in accordance with East West Care’s policies and fully regulated service.
