Care home HR can feel like a burden...

Ensuring residents receive the best care should be your number one priority as a care business owner.

Whilst you focus on providing the best service possible, it can be hard to find the time to manage your legal responsibilities. Especially when it comes to human resources (HR).

Even with the best staff, you may face several HR challenges when running a care home. These include:

Staff shortages, promoting vacancies, and widening your talent pool.

Maintaining employee relations.

Upholding employee retention rates.

Performing background checks on candidates.

Recruitment of overseas care workers and registered nurses.

 Complying with regulatory requirements.

That's why so many care providers outsource their HR to Peninsula. With our services, we take the hassle out of your HR, so you can make time to focus on what's important - providing the best care.

Create your HR policies for your nursing homes with our expert care consultants

Ensuring your legal compliance can feel like a minefield. And, as an employer, you're legally required to provide certain HR policies, documents and procedures.

This includes:

Employment contracts or a statement of main terms.

A Health & Safety policy.

Disciplinary and grievance procedures.

Without the right help, it might be difficult to draft the above correctly. But, if you choose to work with Peninsula, we can support you.

Our full documentation services include a team of employment law experts - all there to help you review your current policies and ensure they're up-to-date. And, if you already have an in-house HR team, we'll work with them to ensure your paperwork is legally watertight.
