All our staff are trained to harness their knowledge about current legislature and guidelines that protect and ensure that persons in their care are not only respected, but also aided in enhancing their safety, ability and freedom of choice and independence. They are kept up-to-date with relevant policies, procedures, and sectoral changes, etc.

Their skills (in Manual Handling, Health & Safety at Work, Emergency Procedures - Fire, Gas & Electricity, etc; Food Hygiene & Preparation, Control & Restraint - especially for those caring for Service Users with challenging behaviour; as well as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence - NICE Guidelines, etc) are used to sensitively support the service users in their care.

All our staff are expected to be committed to the agency’s core values of public service, quality, equality and empowerment and to demonstrate this commitment in the way they carry out their duties. We are committed to safeguarding the confidentiality of our service users, their security and well-being.

We demonstrate through personal and professional example a commitment to equality of opportunity for all groups of staff and service users. We challenge all forms of discrimination, racism, sexism and other forms of unjust behaviour.

Upon recruitment, every member of staff is equipped with a Staff Handbook to aid them in carrying out their duties at all times. Our Knowledge, Skills and Desire to cater for the needs of our clientèle forms the habit of service upon which our reputation thrives.

Our strength lies in the synergistic operation of our team. Together, we seek “to maximise independence while meeting dependence with respect, sensitivity and understanding”

Whatever your staffing needs, UHS is at your service to help source the best solutions.

Temp-to-Perm

This is fast becoming a popular and cost effective way to recruit for new permanent staff and gives all clients the opportunity to “try before they buy”. It is crucial to any business that you not only recruit individuals who match the job specification for any role but also having the right personality to fit well with the company structure.

Some Benefits

• Gives the employer an opportunity to work with the candidate and find out what their main skills and development areas are, before offering them a permanent role.
• Gives the employee the opportunity to experience the job and working environment before taking the role permanently.

Fixed-term Contracts

A fixed term contract works by the employer taking on the Temporary Employee onto their payroll, for a set period of time, to which a one off fee is chargeable. The Employee is paid by the employer (not the agency) for the duration of the assignment. A fixed term contract suits requirements such as maternity or long-term sickness cover.

Some Benefits

• This gives the employer the control to budget as the contract has a definite end date.
• It gives the employee a ‘Sense of belonging’ to the employer and a clear date to complete specific contract assignments.
• Permanent Recruitment Solutions

At UHS we understand it is not always easy to recruit the right person. However, with our years recruitment experience, we have the right balance of knowledge and experience to recruit the right person first time. In most cases, we are able to source permanent staff from our pool of temporary staff. The added benefit of this is that such persons already have a long-term relationship working with us, and are known by us.

With the intense competition for the best candidates, selecting the correct employees for your business or needs can be time-consuming and expensive. We work hard to understand your business, service and specific needs before using our specialist and local knowledge to create a tailor-made recruitment strategy. By reducing the risk of recruitment, we give you all the benefits of personal attention and third party objectivity.

We are determined to offer a high quality recruitment service that delivers each and every time.

UHS fully understands the competitive nature of employment, but is confident that we can secure the best people for your needs.
