New staff are supported to achieve the Care Certificate, the new standard for Health and Social Care Workers.
We recognise the importance of the role of leaders and managers in supporting and enabling staff and projects effectively to meet their goals. That’s why we’ve put in place standards and expectations of leaders and managers at Guideposts in our Leadership and Management Framework
Volunteering with us:
Without our team of volunteers much of our work would not be possible. We offer a range of fun volunteering opportunities for you to get involved with. Whether you are looking to learn new skills, build on your current experience, meet new friends or boost your confidence. Your support no matter how small will make a big difference to those we support at Guideposts.
All volunteers will be given the right training and on-going support to make sure you feel confident in your role. And once you have joined you might find there are more opportunities for you to get involved at Guideposts if you would like to.
