Question

its for a care support assistant for the elderly what will i be doing at the induction?

Answer 1

Youll be observing, getting used to the building, routine and residents. Itll be an eyeopener!

Answer 2

Induction Days are when you are shown the fire exits, toilets etc.

Answer 3

Probably just gettting shown around the home. Getting introduced to fellow work mates and service users. Being told about the home, what kind of clients stay there etc and being told about your job role and responsibilites and to see how you feel about starting there.  

Answer 4

Promote your caring side, also promote your opinions on assisting the clients with their independence and treating them with respect and dignity.

Answer 5

Just as everyone else has said but the will explain the qualifications that the Health Commission says you must have when working as a Care Assistant - Health Care NVQ level 1 up to level 3, which will be done with Open Learning and paid for by the company.

Answer 6

Hey smile

They will give you a tour of the premises and show you all the fire exits, fire extinguishers and assembly point. The will give you some time to go through policies and procedures, they will make you aware of where all the files are, i.e care plans, health and safety files and so on. An induction is just about the basic safe running of the home. Don't be afraid to ask questions like how often for alarm testing when the medication is ordered/delivered. They will probably go through a few daily operations of the home like meal times and this kind of thing. Don't be surprised is they 'buddy' you with someone to take you through things. Dont forget to wear sensible clothes in case the ask you to help with a few things during yofine.u induction.

Good luck, you'll be fine.

Answer 7

As others have said you will probably be shown around, possibly introduced to the residents, go through health and safety, they will probably take bank details etc and other relevant information.
