ETHICAL STATEMENT

​

It is common practice in the community care sector to only pay Healthcare Staff for contact time. This means that workers are not paid for periods of time that they are on the road and travelling between clients. Under these conditions people often pick up excessive amounts of hours over long periods of time without fair pay and conditions for their hard work, dedication, and professionalism. Island Home Care believe that this is wrong.

​

Offering better conditions in the privatised healthcare sector is what we are founded on. As far as we are aware Island Home Care pay the highest rates in Jersey and our staff are paid for every hour they are on shift – even on the road. Our staff do not have to work excessive hours to make ends meet. Teams get rotas well in advance (currently 6 months ahead), alternate weekends off and rarely do overtime. They are treated well, and our full-time team members have a generous benefits package including pensions, sick pay and bonuses. It is our mission to continually improve working conditions for our people and standards of care for our clients.
