Harmony Healthcare

Home care also allows service users to be provided with a tailored care package, with nurses and care assistants who are dedicated to them. In some cases, our clients are coping with conditions that can affect their mobility, such as a spinal injury or Parkinson’s Disease. In these cases, given the known effects of Parkinson’s (that there may be certain times of the day that are more difficult than others) we will accommodate overnight care.

All of our services are nurse-led. Further, our carers receive training to enhance their clinical skills, so that they are in a position to be able to provide the right level of care for complex conditions.

Each carer is supported by a registered nurse, who is there to advise on any clinical interventions that may be necessary.

“The clinical team spent hours getting to know us and stood beside us when many would have given up, under the same circumstances. I’m glad that I have met them and we now have these thoroughly decent, professional people, caring for my son. They are the best and I have no hesitancy in recommending them to anyone.”

Why you should choose a career with Harmony Healthcare

One-to-one care is not always possible in a care home or nursing home, but it is what we offer our service users with our home care packages. And this person-centred contact is often a reason why our nurses and care assistants choose to work for Harmony.

“We simply cannot thank you enough for your understanding, professionalism, and compassion. When we phoned you at the beginning of the month, we were dealing with an acute crisis of care for our mother. She had just been released from hospital, and mum was very disoriented, depressed, and not getting out of bed. They could not transfer her to assisted living for days. From the moment your associate answered our call on her mobile and pulled over in the car to speak with us, to our conversations with you... to the amazing care and professionalism of your care staff, we knew mum was being cared for by the best.”

I Fowler - Family member of service user

To ensure that you feel confident in providing quality care to our clients, we will support you with relevant training for your role. Our induction training will take place over three days, providing you with the knowledge and practical skills such as basic life support, handling medication and manual handling required to carry out Complex Homecare.

Initially you will be shadowed by an experienced member of staff during your first home visit. The member of staff will support and assess you to ensure you are competent to continue to provide good quality care in a safe and confident manner.

To provide continuing support to you in your nursing or care role we will be in regular communication and on hand to support you by scheduling your workload and addressing any concerns. You will also be supported to achieve the Care Certificate within the first 12 weeks of your employment.

Our strength lies in the heartbeats and hands of our dedicated professionals. Every member of the Harmony family-from our certified caregivers and skilled nurses to our administration and support teams-is aligned with our core values:

Personalised Approach: Recognising the uniqueness of every individual, we curate tailored care plans to meet specific needs, ensuring optimum outcomes.

Innovation: We are committed to delivering innovative solutions that enhance care quality and patient experiences.

Empathy and Respect: Every individual in our care is treated with the utmost dignity, understanding their needs and feelings, and fostering a nurturing environment.

Harmony Healthcare career development

Harmony Healthcare recognises the importance of investing in staff recruitment and skill development as part of our care provision. Staff are recruited using a vigorous recruitment process that use competency assessments, interviews, DBS and reference checking to ensure that the best health care professionals join our team.

We believe it is essential that our carers receive full training to help them cope with every eventuality. This is why at Harmony Healthcare we enrol all our staff on a comprehensive Training and Development programme that ensures staff have the right knowledge, skills and behaviours to meet all client’s needs. Before our care professionals start work, we provide “shadowing” where they will be observed and monitored by more experienced carers. This provides our staff with the opportunity to watch, listen and learn as well as put into practice some of the skills they have learned already, to ensure our staff continue to develop in their role.

We deliver a range of comprehensive training courses for our nurses and healthcare assistants. Our training covers a variety of skill sets including:

> Venepuncture
> Wound care
> PEG & pump
> Basic life support
> Dementia awareness
> End of life care
> Medication Safety
> Adult Tracheostomy
> Paediatric Tracheostomy
> CPAP & BIPAP
> Epilepsy Awareness & Buccal Training
> Stoma Management
