NVQ level

Our friend got the job without them, and they are training her up as she goes. Some homes won't be bothered with that though, just a case of 'shopping' around.

Care home standards seem to vary from one local authority to another, and as a result, some will insist on staff having some level of NVQ, while others wont.

Here in Wales, the CSIW insist that 50% of staff in any care home should have NVQ2 or better, or work towards getting an NVQ qualification within a set period of time.
