Our Recruitment Process
Our Hiring Process
Our hiring process is a journey and such an important decision can never be made at one interview. We think it’s important that our clients and prospective team members know what our process looks like. Simply follow the instructions below and you’re one step closer to one of the most rewarding careers you can have. Your journey to better starts today.
Screening
Every day our recruitment team reviews the applications and carries out pre-screening telephone conversations with candidates. During the telephone conversation, an applicant will be asked about why they have applied to work for P4C, their experience, hobbies, interests, and why the would like to work with older people. At this stage, we are looking to gain a sense of an applicant’s character and match with our company’s values. We will also take the opportunity to explain to them what it looks and feels like to work at P4C.
Interviews
We have two types of interviews, an informal chat and a formal one therefore you can expect to attend both types of interviews. Interviewing candidates is only part of the decision and will usually last an hour, we look to gain a sense of why a candidate wants to apply for role and we will go into more depth about working with us and answer any questions from them.

Induction & Training
All staff, regardless of their background or life experience, will go through our in-house training. This will cover our company, what we do, how we do it, where we are going and how their crucial function in the organisation ties into the bigger picture and developing and upskilling you in understanding the work you will be doing. Training and professional development is ongoing throughout employment with us through regular refreshers, updates, and other training sessions. We also have a very engaging online ‘E-learning’ training scheme running.
Shadowing And Probationary Period
Once a carer has completed their training, their assigned Care Manager will get alongside them and facilitate shadowing visits with clients, where appropriate, to further develop them.
Strong Employee Relations
We believe that A happy employee means a happy working environment therefore in turn our clients will be truly cared for and nurtured. There are many things we do to help our staff feel valued and part of our family which are;
- All our carers are assigned to a Care Manager who supports and mentors them in their role.
- Periodical training sessions.
- We contribute significantly to the costs associated with getting staff at all levels through their SVQ training in Scotland.
- Bi-monthly staff update emails.
