“We are lucky to have so many loyal and long-serving team members and we are committed to their development, so they can enjoy career progression and achieve their goals, and this was highlighted in the IIP report.
“Our values of compassion, adaptability, respect, excellence and safety run through everything we do, and the IIP accreditation underlined how they are embedded from the very start of our recruitment process.
“We are wholeheartedly committed to excellent people management practices, and with a new online, interactive training platform, we make sure that our talented people reach their full potential.”
Czajka Care Group MD Konrad Czajka commented: “We are very proud of the IIP accreditation and the comments from the report. We put our people and our residents at the heart of everything we do – we are not a corporate owned company – we are a family business that has cared for people for more than 40 years, and we take our role very seriously. Having well qualified, experienced staff that love their jobs and progress with us helps us to provide an even better experience for our residents and we are delighted that the IIP organisation has recognised this.”
