Employee Focus
In order
to achieve best practice standards we concentrate on applicant
selection
and standard. We conduct all interviews face to face to ensure
the
understanding of each applicant. We test all applicants on their
sign
language
skills, professional skills, knowledge of their boundaries and capabilities, and their understanding
of the position they are applying for.
Each
candidate is fully referenced and obtains the standard disclosure
certificate from the Criminal Records Bureau. Each employee attends in-house sign language training once
a month and has access to a range of high
level
educational/language specific workshops from various highly qualified
Deaf
people to ensure their education is continuous and challenging. We
are
unique in
the provision of specialist training and support to our employee’s.
We are
mentoring, developing and encouraging our staff to go further with
their
careers.
Deaf Umbrella value their employees,
this is shown in our retention of high
quality staff and the binding of a
strong loyal team. If you want the same
person back to your booking again; they are likely to still be with us.
