Evolution and change are part of life for companies that have a vision to move forward. Innovation is important to society because it allows us to improve the quality and efficiency of the services we provide. Overall, they are crucial to the success of the company and support its growth and development. Our company is one of those that are always on the move because we care about the satisfaction of our employees. That’s why we have decided to introduce a new benefit – a contribution to the nursing course.

Course in the required quality

We will provide an allowance of up to €200 for care staff to attend an accredited care course. Reimbursement of the course is available to all caregiverswho are employed through our company on a Slovak employment contract. It is therefore an opportunity for caregiversworking in Germany, the Netherlands or Belgium. However, the course must meet certain criteria to ensure that the teaching is of high quality and that the graduate takes away information that will be useful and helpful to them in their work. The total time commitment should cover a minimum of 220 hours, which is approximately 5-6 weeks. The prerequisite is to attend the course in person and regularly without skipping attendance so that the student does not miss any of what will be covered. The advantage is that you can choose a course in your home country.

It is also necessary that the course contains both theoretical and practical part, where caregivertries out the acquired knowledge on concrete examples in model situations. The course must also include work experience in senior care facilities. At the end of the course, you must pass an exam consisting of a written test and a practical task. An adequate course with the required quality is, for example, a course that covers Red Cross. This international organisation operates in several countries around the world, so they can graduate caregiversof many nationalities. V Athens we will verify that the course has the required accreditation and that staff have completed it to the required extent and quality. Entitlement to the allowance will arise upon successful completion and completion of 120 days of service. We will provide it on a course approved by us.

The chances of success increase

By completing the course, the qualifications of caregivers will be increased, enabling them to have a better chance of gaining employment. They can even apply for a better-paid job or one that suits them better and have a chance of getting it faster. Carers with good CV a referencesplus a certificate of completion of a certified course will put them one step ahead of the competition, which is increasing in the job market. The document they receive will stay with them forever and they can use it in their next job when they are not working through us.

It is a form of supplementary vocational education which will help the caregiverto advance professionally. It confirms that he/she understands his/her job. The course focuses on professional knowledge and helps to develop the skills needed to perform the job successfully. In addition to the anatomy of the human body and the correct lifestyle also includes the basics of communication, problem solving and stress management, which is important, especially during unexpected or crisis situations that may arise.

Acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge

The nursing course provides caregivers with theoretical knowledge regarding the careof patients with specific needs, such as those with dementia or with diseases of the cardiovascular system. This knowledge plays an important role as it enables them to provide better quality caregivingand to better understand the needs of their clients. At the same time, the course gives caregivers the practical skills needed for the job. They know how to perform basic hygiene, administer medications, work with a catheter, a lifting device, or position themselves correctly in case they encounter immobile patients. This will make the work easier for them and lead to more efficient and responsible performance. They themselves will feel more comfortable and confident in it.
