Will I be working by myself or with other care staff?
Runs and rota’s differ in each of our areas depending on the service users requirements and we do facilitate individual care runs as well as full double up runs in all areas. Typically there may be one or two “double-up” visits per shift.
What are the shift times and can Avenue work around other jobs/commitments?
Typically our morning shift starts at 7am and finishes at 2pm and our afternoon/back shift starts at 4pm and finishes at 10.30pm. New staff are offered a contract that is based on their weekly availability so that you know when you’ll be working on a weekly basis, there is always the opportunity to pick-up extra shifts should that be desired.
Do I have to pay for any equipment or PPE for the roles?
No, all our staff are equipped with a uniform/rucksack which contains unique badge identification and also all the necessary PPE required for the role. Additional PPE can be collected FOC from our localised offices.
Avenue operate a 24/7 emergency on-call service whereby an experienced member of our care management team is always a phone call away to support and queries that staff need answered. This service is activated midweek 5pm to 8.30am and all weekend should you need any assistance or reassurance.
Do I have to do your in-house training/Induction programme?
Yes, we ask all new members of staff to complete this. Our training managers cater for new staff that have had no care experience and also qualified staff that have a history of experience in social/home care.
What rotas do you have?
Our carers typically work on a two week fixed rota which means working every second weekend. Avenue support Full-time, Part-time and sessional contracts for our staff.
Where will I be working?
Our carers work across the East of Scotland in localised areas. Avenue commit to settling new care staff into the same rota/runs for a minimum of two months and we can also support carer relocations.
Do you pay for travel?
No, our carers pay for their own travel and we can support annual mileage claims to HMRC.
How soon can I start?
All our carers have to complete our induction training and get signed off by our recruitment team - completing necessary background and reference checks as well as award of a PVG from disclosure Scotland.
