A Route to Recruiting Staff

Would your organisation be interested in offering a work placement to a trainee?

Our Skills Development Scotland (SDS) funded Employability programmes are designed to introduce trainees to what is involved in carrying out a care support worker or childcare practitioner job.

Participants are given first aid and moving and handling training during their 2 week induction and following induction they attend a tutorial at Training for Care one day per week, to develop their knowledge and understanding of care theory and practice, with the remaining four days per week spent on placement.

Not only is this an excellent way for participants to be introduced to the world of care work, it is also an opportunity for your organisation to recruit employees on the basis of your experience working with them. Many of the organisations we work with find this is a valuable way of recruiting staff at support worker/nursery assistant level.

Once employed, eligible trainees can progress on to one of our SDS funded Modern Apprenticeship SVQ programmes.

Find out more about the programmes in the Employability section or contact us to discuss further.
