Our recruitment process includes the completion of detailed application forms, verification of qualifications and training, confirmed Right to Work documentation, and Enhanced DBS checks with Update Service verification completed prior to deployment.

We obtain a full employment history from the age of 16 onwards, with all gaps in employment fully explored and verified. References are obtained for all previous care related roles to ensure a clear understanding of each candidate's experience, conduct, and suitability to work with vulnerable individuals.

In addition, all candidates complete a face to face interview before being approved for assignments, allowing us to assess their values, communication skills, professionalism, and overall suitability for care environments. At Guinto, we leave no stone unturned when it comes to safer recruitment.

We strongly believe that high quality care professionals require practical, interactive, and ongoing development. That is why all staff also undergo rigorous face to face training designed to strengthen practical skills, behaviour support, communication, and crisis management.

This includes specialist training in areas such as Knife Crime, County Lines and Exploitation, Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI), PACE, safeguarding, first aid, medication administration, recording and reporting, and other sector specific learning.

We are also committed to continuous professional development through our in house training programme, which provides staff with monthly bite sized learning sessions delivered during team meetings, refreshing knowledge, promoting best practice, and keeping staff informed on emerging risks and legislative changes.
