Direct Bookings

What is a direct booking?

When going to a home quite frequently you may find that they will ask you personally to pick up some shifts for them. If you decide to take any of the offered shifts, then we will require you to inform us what these are. Make sure to email bookings@fulbridgesocialcare.co.uk to ensure we are aware and can make sure we have the correct timesheets.

Driving Own Vehicle

Business Insurance

Sometimes when working at care settings, you may be requested to drive your own vehicle. We never recommend that you do this as you would be personally liable if anything was to happen to a young person in your vehicle. However if you are comfortable in doing so, you must have business insurance. If you are driving your own vehicle, the home that you are working at are responsible for paying your mileage up front. Fulbridge have no contractual agreement in place with any client that allows us to pay mileage for professional use after the event.

The Resignation Process

What is the general procedure?

If you make the decision that you no longer wish to work with us, please let us know. Make sure to send an email to hr@fulbridgesocialcare.co.uk including your resignation letter. Any references that are requested for you will require your written consent, however if you have not done more that 5 shifts or been with us for longer than three months then we will not be able to do this. We are also only limited to releasing one reference per month, this will include basic information such as dates and if there were any safeguarding concerns.  Please request you P45 from our payroll team, whose email has been previously mentioned. We also expect all candidates to honour any of your shifts that have been pre-booked.
