Generally, young Nursing Auxiliary Staff who take the “Care” career path usually begin with no training and often have some limited experience: for example, helping a relative at home.

Upon entering Albert House all Staff  immediately start a comprehensive program of outside and in-house training.  Outside training is mostly provided by North Somerset Council and is accredited, e.g. First Aid. Other specialist training is used when needed, especially for our Trained Nurses, for example in medication, wound care etc., which updates their knowledge usually gained in hospitals.

Albert House encourages staff development and pays extra when it’s completed, so our staff are very highly trained compared to most Nursing Homes who often concentrate on the mandatory training only.

Our training program is provided by Altura, with programs filmed in actual care homes. Our Staff have watched, and were tested on, hundreds of hours of  training. Currently Albert House has over 60 different training courses covering every aspect of care, so training is continuous, especially when normally refreshers are also necessary.

We are nearly always looking for Nurses, Carers and sometimes support staff e.g. cleaning, laundry and kitchen. We have an excellent, stable and multi-cultural staff. Its hard work in this industry but very fulfilling. For caring you don’t need previous experience or training, that will all be learnt after you are employed.

So if you are interested please pop along and grab an application form. Ring Kelly or Sally on 01934 622869 if you have any questions.
