Every care worker or nurse will go through a four-stage interview process:

• Our recruitment team only interview those they feel have the background we’re looking for.
  
• The interview is as much about character as it is about experience and qualifications. Only those with all the right qualities will pass this stage.
  
• All candidates are then thoroughly background checked; references are taken and contacted, identities are confirmed, and an enhanced CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check is conducted.
  
• All successful candidates must then participate in a two-week training and assessment stage, the second week of which is practical experience in a residential home monitored by an experienced staff member. At the end of this they must pass a written exam.
  
  Only those who pass all four stages are asked to join our organisation.
  

Our phone lines are manned by our own staff 24 hours a day, and we currently are able to have someone to you within one hour.

As we have no long-term contracts and the minimum amount of time you need to book one of our nurses or carers is just one hour (depending on where in London you are located) you can try us out at any time and then decide how often and for how long you need our help.

It’s wonderful if you live in a community or with family who can look after your needs for free, but there will be times when those who look after you will be away or sick, there will be times when more specialist support is needed that an untrained person simply cannot provide, and there are times when those who look after you will need a rest themselves. With ANA Nursing there is always cover and our staff are all police/CRB checked, thoroughly referenced, highly skilled and well trained, as well as being genuinely nice people.

Our charges vary depending on your needs, therefore the easiest way to answer this question is for you to call us on 020 8905 7701 and we’d be delighted to provide you with our fees.
