Care Assistant Induction


This induction is completed via an accessible, jargon-free, photocopiable workbook & fully meets the requirements of the new compulsory 12-week induction for all new care workers!

  • Matches & is fully cross referenced to Skills for Care 'Common Induction Standards'


"Care Assistant Induction takes the 6 Common Induction Standards, breaks them down into easily digestible pieces and cross-references each piece to the relevant standard… The resource has been written by someone who knows the job inside out, has a vast amount of experience and can use this to help the most inexperienced staff member feel valued and part of the care team from day one."
Julian Budden, reviewer

“The purpose of this booklet is to help you understand your role within the caring team and to ensure the highest levels of care are given at all times to the residents. It will develop confidence & skills & form a basis for NVQ levels 2 & 3 in Care… It forms the basis of your training portfolio & can be taken to future jobs as proof of your knowledge & skills.”
