Nursing Home UK

You will need an assessment from your current local council’s social services department, but once that’s completed and you have been assessed as needing residential care, you are free to move to any care home, including one in a different county or in one of the UK’s devolved regions.

In the majority of cases, there won’t be any requirements to have academic qualifications like GCSEs, A-Levels or degrees. However, most employers would prefer you to have some First Aid skills and an NVQ in Health and Social Care, Levels 2 and 3.

The UK has some of the worlds leading hospitals, practices and centres that offer great professional development opportunities, whilst working alongside great people. Nurses are adequately compensated for their position depending on band, qualifications and training of course.

Since April 2009, workers have been entitled to 5.6 weeks annual leave. To calculate statutory annual leave entitlement, multiply the number of days you work a week by 5.6. For example, if you work a five day week you would be entitled to 28 days annual leave a year: 5 days x 5.6 weeks = 28 days per annum.

The cost of care homes depends on where in the UK you live and what type of care you need. Research shows that average care home fees range from £27,000 to £39,000 per annum for a residential care home. Care costs increase to £35,000 – £55,000 per year if nursing care is required.

Care homes pay £12,914.00 more compared to the NHS, from second year owenwords.
