Any vacant shifts were being covered by permanent staff, the home's internal bank staff or the provider's bank staff. (per 2019)
Training includes induction, dementia courses and supervision, but no funded qualifications or career paths.
All new staff completed a comprehensive induction programme which included the Care Certificate... Staff had completed various dementia care and awareness training... 'We get mandatory training and a lot of other training'. (per 2019)
