Who are the palliative carers we employ?

Guardian Carers has been in the care industry for over a decade, we understand what it takes to ensure a happy, long lasting placement. Over time, we have perfected our vetting procedure. We have found that an in depth face to face interview to discuss each carers qualifications and experience is the best course of action as we are able to fully understand every task they have had to do and get a feel of their personality. We will obtain a minimum of two verbal references and personally check them.

Each of our carers must have the following:

• An enhanced DBS check
• First Aid certificate
• Undergone a safeguarding course
• Minimum of 3 years experience

Guardian Carers ensures each of our end of life carers have a minimum of 3 years experience to assure you or your loved one that you are in the most capable hands and should you have a fall or an emergency your carer will know exactly how to handle the situation.

Guardian carers look for the specific attributes that make up an excellent carer such as patience, observance, reliability and compassion. With palliative care it is an absolute must that a carer is compassionate. Showing concern for people around them and being sympathetic towards their needs helps them to provide the best care, making you comfortable in your own home. In addition, being empathetic helps a carer to better understand your needs in being able to understand and interpret your feelings and requests.
