It takes a special kind of professional to thrive with Newcross. They have to be dedicated, motivated and committed to excellence in all that they do. Because we invest so much time in our staff, it’s important that we get the right ones to start with. So we make no apologies that our selection process is a rigorous one.

First we ask everyone to attend an initial consultation. This allows us to explain about Newcross and the way we work, understand what kind of work the applicant is looking for, and gather the essential information we need. Enhanced CRB & POVA checks, references and qualification checks are all taken up with no exceptions. If we are confident that the applicant will thrive as part of our team, we ask all new staff to attend a full day’s induction, to ensure they have a complete picture of the benefits we offer, and the standards we expect in return. We assess their skills and provide suitable training prior to placement e.g. Manual Handling, Hospital Orientation, Infection Control, Food Hygiene etc.

Finally, if everything is satisfactory, we offer a permanent contract with full employee benefits, including holiday pay, sick pay, staff pension scheme and training credits. At that point they’re part of the team, and ready to bring their skills to your organisation.
