What is the job application process like

To apply for a job in adult social care, you will typically be asked to submit a CV and cover letter. After that, you will be invited for an interview to explore your eligibility and review your qualifications for the role. If your interview proved successful, you will be informed of this. It will be followed by background checks to ascertain the information you provided are valid and, request for additional information and/or qualifications as appropriate. Once you have been selected for the job, you will then receive an offer which you can negotiate before accepting.

There is a possibility that shortly after arrival, your induction would begin to provide you with training and to obtain additional certifications.
