From October 2021, Covid Vaccines will become a mandatory requirement for anyone working in a care home setting.
The government guidelines state "It will apply to all workers employed directly by the care home or care home provider (on a full-time or part-time basis), those employed by an agency and deployed by the care home, and volunteers deployed in the care home.
Those coming into care homes to do other work, for example healthcare workers, tradespeople, hairdressers and beauticians, and CQC inspectors will also have to follow the new regulations, unless they have a medical exemption."
At Unity Care Specialists will ensure that all our workers follow these guidelines, and from October 2021 any of our team that are placed within a care home setting will have their vaccination for Covid 19.
We are dedicated to supporting our teams and the people they support, and do all we can to ensure that we provide safe and effective care.
