Providers will need to demonstrate an understanding of outcome focused care and have a strong record of accomplishment in delivering quality homecare. For providers who wish to deliver specialist care and/or services in Extra Care housing it is expected that they can demonstrate transferable skills and understanding of the high-skill staff/team required to deliver care within the specialist specification. The Royal Borough of Greenwich is committed to the payment of the London Living Wage and adherence to aspects of the Ethical Care Charter; providers will need to share this commitment and deliver on improved pay and conditions for front line care staff. The Local Authority is placing a greater emphasis on technology, its use within homecare and the opportunities that this brings to changing the way homecare is delivered and monitored. The new model of homecare includes a period of secondment within the Boroughs Reablement team; enabling the upskilling of providers workforce and skill sharing; allowing providers within the new model to set, deliver and support in goal setting and independence enhancing care and support.
