DUTY AND ACCOUNTABILITY

I. The General

All jobs in the home are subject to certain obligations:

1. To assist the management team in all facets of the home’s operations by making sure that one is aware of one’s own obligations and responsibilities and by pledging to operate within the predetermined parameters of the position.

2. To collaborate as a team to provide a welcoming and secure atmosphere that supports the home’s residents’ physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being. According to the VIPS framework, this entails upholding a high level of care by implementing a person-centred care approach:

a. Valuing: the unwavering appreciation of an individual irrespective of their disease

b. Individualised, meaning I treated each person as a unique individual.

c. Perspective: examining the world from an individual’s point of view

d. Supportive: offering a constructive social setting where an individual can feel content

3. To encourage the development of a warm and inviting environment for all residents of the care facility. Confidentiality and consideration for residents, their family members, and friends are part of this.

2. To exhibit capable leadership that fosters the growth of the care team by providing coaching, performing evaluations, and supporting training.

3. To take part in the work schedules, which may include weekends, evenings, and bank holidays as needed, to effectively provide care for every person while maintaining their dignity at all times.

4. To encourage professional cooperation among coworkers (e.g., management, nurses, kitchen staff, GPs, pharmacy, etc.) that entails exchanging information and helping when required and suitable.

5. To offer care assistance that is suitable for the resident’s state of health. This indicates that understanding the resident’s unique needs and preferences—such as their medical history, particular dietary requirements, anxiety triggers, etc.—is a prerequisite for this responsibility. This could entail the following duties:

• Assisting with showering and bathing
• Assisting with transfers from wheelchair to toilet, from bed to chair, etc.

6. To help keep the home tidy by offering assistance with minor cleaning in bedrooms or in common areas.

7. To assess care needs, provide and carry out care instructions, and review the care plan’s results.

8. To assist in carrying out risk analyses.

9. To submit and update required care paperwork regularly (e.g., care plan, care charts).

10. To guarantee that residents show up for required visits with doctors and other medical specialists (such as a chiropodist or general practitioner).

11. To keep an ongoing eye on and record health-related issues. You should notify the manager and/or the charge nurse right away if you see any changes or irregularities.

12. To acknowledge the value of social activities, entertainment, and therapies provided to residents in improving their quality of life. This implies that while taking into account each resident’s unique requirements and preferences, the staff must be open to taking part in the events that are held at the home.
