Employment

The aim of recruitment and selection is to attract then appoint the best person with the necessary attitude, skills and abilities to do the job to meet our high standards.

DICE Healthcare Ltd is committed to equal opportunities and welcomes applications from all who believe they fit the essential requirements of the job.

Shortlisting for interview will be done using a scoring system by at least two people, following which successful candidates will be invited for a face to face interview. During this process candidates will be asked to discuss care scenarios and answer various questions.

We have an open door policy and have a listening, responding and learning culture. We try hard to be respectful and caring towards our staff; we have flexible working patterns and try to ensure our staff do not work more than 5 days a week and have 2 weekends off per month. We are a transparent company who holds regular meetings where open and honest discussions are encouraged. We are appreciative and supportive of our staff and foster a positive culture in the workplace, we recognise the value of staff well being yet we will address behaviours that are inconsistent with our organisational values.

Join our organisation 

What we look for:

Why join our organisation:

Block pay (in other words if you are out of the house with your first client from 08.00 and finish with your last client at 14.00 you will be paid for all this time even if you have a gap of one and half hours or less). In reality, if you work for other organisations but only get paid for the time you are with clients you might, in theory, be on more per hour but you see less in your pay packet. Don’t be fooled!

For example – if you are on £9.50 per hour but during the six hours you are out of the house you are travelling and are only with clients for 4.5 hours = your pay will be £9.50 X 4.5 = £42.75
On our pay rate you will get £8.91 per hour for the full 6 hours = £53.46. We pay £9.40 at weekends so you would get £56.40.

Stand by pay– As we give all members of staff two weekends off a month, we work with half staff most weekends. ‘Stand by’ is available to all staff and is paid at £30.00 per half day and £60.00 per full day. This is an incentive for employees to volunteer should they be needed to work. This is paid regardless of whether employees are needed or not. If employees are needed to work (E.G. to cover absence) they are then paid for any work that they do.

We believe all of the above benefits supports staff retention. This is very important to give continuity of care to our valued clients. In addition to having a positive workplace culture we believe that if we care for our staff, develop their strengths, pay them appropriately and give them the opportunity to grow they will want to stay with the company.

This has proved to be a successful strategy so far as our staff turnover is very low.
