New Starters
Learning and Development

All new staff undertake a formal induction programme which helps ensure they have the necessary knowledge to be effective employees and meet the requirements and standards of the Care Certificate programme. The Care Certificate judges understanding of essential elements of care, such as legislation, procedures and principles of care and support, but also assesses the individual’s ability to deliver high quality compassionate care.

The following training is available as a taught session to help with knowledge needed for the Care Certificate:

Your ongoing learning

Training is offered through a comprehensive range of mandatory and optional courses relevant to the care sector. Additionally we offer management and personal development programmes to interested staff across the Organisation.

Support is provided to staff to undertake external qualifications relevant to their job role and career. Additional opportunities include shadowing, coaching, job swaps and transfers.

All staff have regular professional development and review meetings including an annual appraisal with their manager. This enables individual development needs for the future to be identified and discussed according to the requirements of their roles, their service and personal career aspirations.

Coronavirus (Covid 19) Statement

Due to the exceptional circumstances due to the ongoing Coronavirus (also known as Covid 19) and the Government rules about self-isolating it is very important to reduce the risk of cross infection to all our Clients and staff teams. Our teams are working hard to support all our clients and are committed to keeping everyone as safe as possible.

This means that, in most circumstances, and in line with government information regarding self-isolation and staying at home there should be no visitors to any of our services.

We know, however, that this will be very distressing for some of our Clients.

Therefore, we are saying there must be no visitors to services unless there are exceptional circumstances and the visit is essential.

Before a visit can take place, this must be risk assessed by the manager considering government advice and the individual circumstances. Before setting off on any visit to your relative/friend please get in contact with St Anne’s staff to discuss your visit.

Our services are using all kinds of technology, including social media to make sure that the people we support can stay in touch with those important to them

St Anne’s has developed a visitors protocol to enable visits to begin again in North Yorkshire, East Yorkshire, Durham, Middlesbrough and Leeds care homes.

In line with Government & local Council Guidelines each Client may have one family member or other person who is close to them visit on a regular basis.

Decisions where visitors can go are being based on Individual Local Authority advice following Government guidelines.
