Elmfield Care is deeply committed to bringing the right people to be a part of their team. As an employer, they instinctively understand that they need to really take care of their people so their people can deliver the best in care to their residents. For some employers, this can come down to adding a little bit to a wage packet. For Elmfield Care, it’s about developing a package that works for all employees and makes it easy for them to give their job everything they have.
What makes Elmfield so special lies in the fact that they know this is about more than money. A job at Elmfield is about being paid well, being respected for your input to the organisation, being recognised for your experience and being thanked and appreciated in the ways that really make a difference to day-to-day life.
Above Industry Salaries
Elmfield is serious about recruiting and retaining talent. Their salary is over and above the industry standard – that’s an integral part of the Elmfield employment package – but that’s only the start of the rewarding and mutually respectful relationship on offer. In addition to highly competitive payrates, overtime and incentive payments are a very active part of the Elmfield remuneration programme.
To ensure that all staff are paid on time and correctly, Elmfield use electronic timesheets and a seamless payroll system that ensures the money arrives in accounts when it is supposed to and is correct to the penny. There are enhanced rates for bank holiday and every Elmfield employee is welcomed on to the company pension scheme. If and when staff need to travel for business purposes, such as assessments or training, mileage expenses are reimbursed at full rate.
Engaging Environments
Elmfield has placed a clear focus on developing and building state of the art, purpose bult care homes. A joy for the residents to live in, they are also fabulous working environments that boast a welcoming family feel. This is underpinned by outstanding electronic care plans (PCS) that empower staff to deliver the highest quality of care and ensure that everyone fully understands what they should be doing and when.
It is these clear lines of communication that ensure staff feel their input is valued and their opinion appreciated as a valued member of the Elmfield team. Elmfield’s team of directors are frequent visitors to the homes and will always take time to catch up with staff to see how things are.
Staff are encouraged and supported in their training and development, with a programme that offers staff opportunities to progress their career with Elmfield. Senior staff now also have the opportunity to join the recently-launched leadership programme.
The Little Things
It is often said that it’s the little things that mean a lot. At Elmfield, we totally agree. That’s why we have ensured that there is free parking on hand to help you get on with your day. In addition to paid breaks, we also offer free nutritious and well-balanced meals to make life a little easier.
Down time is important – especially on a busy shift. Elmfield’s superb staff facilities include a shower and a staff room so that you can recharge and reenergise, ready for the next part of your shift.
Caring for people lies at the core of what Elmfield excel at. For us, that’s just as much about the staff as it is about the residents.
