Care on Call: Our Children’s Home Staff Working For You.

Sometime ago here at Anderida Adolescent Care, we went about registering the organisation as a staffing agency. Due to the nature of what we do and the fact that homes can sometimes be empty between placements, we decided that offering our staff to other organisations on a temporary basis would be a wise move. Due to the fact that this initiative was not devised as a profiteering exercise but really to keep our staff working, our prices reflect our motive; there is no profiteering as of course there would be from a staffing agency because it is their business to make money from their staff working.

So, why might you consider utilising our staff?

• Immediate Cover For As Long As You Need.

If you have a lot of staff on a shift rota, often mornings can get a bit messy. Sickness can throw a real spanner in the works and your pool of bank staff are not always quick to answer their phones. We can send over a hand picked member of staff immediately to slot in to your team regardless of your circumstances. Anderida could be your bank staff list with the added bonus of the staff being highly relevant, experienced and fully trained in residential child care.

• Highly Relevant Staff

We are offering staff who work with young people in a residential child care environment day in, day out – we won’t simply send you job seekers!

• Highly Skilled Staff

Temping agencies may struggle to find staff specific to your role, but we are clear: our creative and passionate staff are experienced in working in a residential child care environment with young people who display very challenging behaviour. It is these individuals who are responsible for providing the care that received Outstanding from Ofsted. They know what they are doing!

• Fees Nowhere Near to “Agency” Fees

Fees start at £10.07 per hour per member of staff. I think that says it all.

• Pre-screened, Interviewed and Trained.

These aren’t people that we need to find work for as a matter of urgency in order for them and us to earn money – as is the case with traditional agencies; our Project Workers have been employed by Anderida to work for Anderida. They would have been group interviewed, interviewed, had trial shifts, follow up interviews, CRB checked and then been contributing to Outstanding care whilst completing their NVQ and following a detailed training list.

We can help any organisation that feels that we can help them.
