But compliance alone isn’t enough. To truly improve the lives of those in need, we want our carers to have:
- The right mindset to deliver skilled and compassionate care to each individual they support.
- The appropriate expertise and training for the specific role, whether it’s epilepsy care, palliative care, or another specialty.
Vetting Screening Requirements
- Proof of ID & address
- National Insurance & visa documents (where applicable)
- SSSC registration or NMC PIN
- Relevant training & qualification certificates
- 2 healthcare references
- Bank details
- PVG membership number
What to expect
After your initial application, we will guide you through the four stages of our hiring and registration process:
Stage 1: Skills Assessment & Interview
Following your application, we’ll invite you to complete a brief skills assessment to identify your strengths and review your previous training. After some paperwork, we’ll have a conversation to learn more about your background and availability, share details about the work we do at Helprite, and answer any questions you may have.
Stage 2: Reference Checks & PVG Update
Once we’ve received all the necessary documents and forms, we’ll contact your references and update your PVG membership. We aim to complete this stage as quickly as possible, but please note that it depends on Disclosure Scotland’s processing times.
Stage 3: Induction Training
After the interview and skills assessment, we’ll schedule your induction training, including any additional social care training required before you start working with us. This complimentary training will be provided by our sister company, Helprite Staffing, through fully compliant and regulated in-house social care courses.
Stage 4: Ready to Start
Once you’ve successfully completed all stages, you’ll receive your contract, ID badge, tunic, and staff handbook. We’ll then confirm your availability and schedule your first shifts!
