TOP UP HOURS FOR CARERS IN LEEK AND CHEDDLETON

We have been struggling with hours since Christmas. Anne-Marie has managed to finally sort the capacity block contract with the Council. We have been given a rolling 12 week contract for Leek and Cheddleton and we are wanting to pass this on to staff members.

We are currently finalising a 12 week contract to match the Councils terms and conditions. Example: If you require full-time hours. You will be paid a minimum of 36 hours per week plus extras.*

Terms and conditions:

Call logging and compliance needs to be 85% and above (via the service users phone or the app) This will be done in stages:

Month 1: 50%, Month 2: 60%, Month 3: 70%, Month 4: 80% Month 5: 85%

  1. Full-time staff need to be available for the 5 days per week
  2. You maybe asked to cover another area (capped at 2 days per month and a 7.5 mile radius)
  3. You may be asked to do field work in your area to build up your hours i.e. collecting diary notes, distributing MAR charts etc
  4. The top up will be paid at £9 per hour (Example: If you only work 28 hours. 8 hours will be added to your wage at £9.00 per hour)
  • *The only time payments would go down is absence, picking up a lower than average amount of hours or sickness. Sickness would be paid following the Statutory Sick Pay (SSP).
  • The top ups will only be available while Homestay Care Limited is receiving it from Staffordshire County Council.
  • Staff members logging compliance needs to be over 85% to receive the top up hours.
