Entrust Social Care are different. We differentiate ourselves from other Agencies through a number of factors, all brought together to ensure our clients a superb quality, value for money and cost effective service. Some of these factors are:-

Infrastructure and Computerisation

Entrust Social Care is a quality-focused organisation that uses the very latest computer technology to deliver efficiency and effectiveness in the services it provides. Our sophisticated recruitment software is one of the most advanced systems of its kind operating in a care sector environment. Our systems ensure that the essential protocols for checking and referencing of staff are adhered to at all times.

With ever increasing requirements for vetting of staff at last being implemented our systems have built in flexibility that enables us to accommodate any changes as they are introduced. Whilst many of the checks now being introduced as legal requirements have always been encompassed in our procedures, we welcome and applaud any procedures that improve and increase the general quality of staff supplied.

Our protocols comply fully with EL(97) 48, Warner Report and National Care Standards as appropriate. Criminal Record Bureau checks are carried out as applicable.

Sector Experience

The staff of Entrust Social Care have many years experience of both the Public and Independent Social Care Sectors and the Recruitment Industry.
Through close associations with our Public Sector clients we have an in-depth understanding of the needs and service requirements within the social care arena.

We aim to work with our clients to meet not just their short term and emergency Locum needs but also to seek innovative and individual solutions to their medium or longer term interim or permanent placement requirements.

Professionalism

No matter what your staffing requirements the same amount of care and attention to detail goes into staff verification and selection to ensure they suit your specific requirement. We rigorously police our internal procedures and all Entrust Social Care staff are guaranteed to be "fit for purpose".

The supply of vetted and properly referenced quality staff is our main concern.

Attracting the right staff and retaining them calls for professional recruitment advice from people who understand your needs, the complexity of the sector and its special requirements. Entrust Social Care has both the experience and expertise to ensure you receive the quality of service you demand. Experienced qualified staff, the very latest in computer based technology and an ethical company culture all add up to one of the most professional services available.

Training

All of our qualified Social Workers are offered 5 days free training a year in addition to a full PQ Programme.

As members of the WMRPQC, our training courses & PQ Programmes are carried out by Staffordshire Social Services Training & Development Centre, are fully certificated and quality assured.

24 Hour On Call Service

Entrust Social Care Ltd operates a true 24 hour out of hours service. The system operates as follows:-

Our main telephone number is also our out of hours number. When our offices are unmanned, the main number is redirected to a suitably experienced and approved recruitment consultant. Utilising the same number saves any confusion for Clients and Locums.

Outside normal office hours our on-call consultant has a home-based PC with full remote access to all of Entrust’s computer systems including our Locum database.
