hi there,

Welcome Aboard.

Don't let the jargon grind you down....ask your assessor to put things into plain English......thats what they are there for ...to help you.

But if they don't just ask and everyone will no doubt try to help.;)

Hi,

I have applied for a Senior Care Assistant in my company. I have been invited for the interview but I heard I am going to have a short test. Do you know what sort of test this is going to be and what sort of question they going to ask me? Thank you.;)

I would imagine each company would have questions specific to their own.

For a senior carers post I would imagine they would expect you to have a good knowledge of policies, guidelines, legislation etc.

What type of work do you do?

www.valuingpeople.gov.uk - 23k
when you get on this link.. click Valuing People then Valuing People Papers
and you will find allsorts) More information is found when you click on Resources---very useful.
Valuing People is the government's plan for making the lives of people with learning disabilities, their families and carers better.

It was written in 2001, and it was the first White Paper for people with learning disabilities for 30 years. It covers England.

It is based on people having:
their rights as citizens
inclusion in local communities
choice in daily life
real chances to be independent
It was written with help from people with learning disabilities, family carers, and people who work in services or other organisations for people with learning disabilities.

It came with an easier to understand version, as well as a report from the service users advisory group called 'Nothing about us without us', a report on family carers called 'Family matters', and a report on learning difficulties and ethnicity. You can find these papers, and other information about Valuing People from the key papers page in this section.

Hope that helps.

Policy and Research Department
www.cpa.org.uk
THIS IS TO DO WITH AGEISM>WORTH A LOOK.
CPA's policy and research work includes a broad range of issues having an impact on ageing and old age, including health and social services, residential and community care, religious belief, living arrangements, transport, citizenship and leisure activities. In particular it is concerned with the analysis of public policy as it affects older people, research into related issues and the promotion of good practice in service design and provision. CPA is particularly well known for its pioneering work in residential care and continues to be at the forefront of developments in this area.

Policy and research

CPA's independent status enables it to take a flexible approach to research and policy analysis. The Centre initiates it own research programme seeking funds from outside sources; it takes on research work directly commissioned and funded by other bodies, including independent sector organisations; it acts as a consultancy undertaking reviews for health trusts and local authorities, analysing services for older people and making recommendations for future development; the Centre also works in partnership with other research/academic institutions seeking specialised input on older age issues.

Examples of recent research topics include:
users' perceptions of living in residential homes
training needs of care assistants
the significance of religious and spiritual belief for older people
the effectiveness of health promotion
developments in dementia care
the information needs of older people
assessing the quality of health and social services provision
older people living alone
leisure activities and services
sheltered housing
Promotion of good practice

CPA has extensive links with practitioners in many fields. Over the years it has built up a reputation for innovative thinking in residential and community care, design for daily living, establishing the balance between risk and safety, and ensuring the voice of older people is heard by policy makers and service providers.

In 1984, the Centre published its landmark code of good practice for residential care, Home Life, sponsored by the DHSS. This was followed up, twelve years later in 1996, by the publication A Better Home Life. These two documents have had a major influence on the quality of residential care for older people. Following on from this work, CPA was commissioned by the Department of Health to develop new standards for the inspection of care homes under the new Care Standards Act 2000. Community Life: a code of practice for community care was published in 1990 and, in 1995, Citizen Advocacy with Older People: a code of good practice.

If you would like further details of CPA's research work or to discuss potential work, please contact the Director.

CPA Briefings

CPA research briefings are a series of documents which summarise the policy and research activity at the Centre for Policy on Ageing. Each briefing document summarises an area of policy or research, outlining the background and noting any key points or issues.

Briefing documents are available for the following areas:
Living Arrangements and Older People


Health and Social Care: Research


Health and Social Care: Service reviews and evaluation


Residential Care and Older People


Social Inclusion

If I find anything else whilst I'm on the net I will let you know.
