I would like to opt in to receive marketing communications from Lavender Support Services via:
We take training and the ongoing support of our care professionals very seriously.
All Lavender support staff undertake mandatory training during their probation period.
Within their first twelve weeks, each carer is required to pass units from Redcrier training, which include: safeguarding, basic life support, moving and handling, mental capacity act, infection control, food hygiene, medication and be familiar with the home carer workers manual. All staff are periodically required to update their training and knowledge. www.redcrier.com
Staff are encouraged to further their knowledge by studying for QCF/RQF diploma levels 2 and 3 in Health & Social Care and also through distance learning NCFE courses, which are regularly made available to all members of staff.

A Care Ambassador for Lavender
Are you interested in becoming a ‘Care Ambassador?’
A Care Ambassador is an initiative designed to help tackle the recruitment and retention challenges in adult social care.
Care Ambassadors are people who work in social care and deliver activities to promote careers within the sector.
Organisations can nominate staff to be Care Ambassadors to improve staff retention and support the recruitment of new staff to the sector.
We are looking for people who are passionate about promoting the care sector as a positive career choice and enhance people’s understanding of what care is about. We want people who wish to share their values of becoming a carer and making a career out of caring.
