Assessment & selection process

What type of placements can I work on?
Senius Care offers 2 types of placement – fixed date and ongoing.
Fixed date
A fixed-date placement is typically used for respite care or to cover a primary carer whilst they’re on a break. These placements will always be a clear start and end date.
Ongoing
Carers on an ongoing placement will typically be considered the primary carer for the person they’re caring for. However, they differ from fixed-date, placements as the carer returns to the same placement at regular intervals for the foreseeable future. Carers typically stay with their client in cycles of 4 to 10 weeks and then return after a break. When applying for ongoing placements, carers can state their preferred work schedule and will be able to arrange breaks once they’ve started.
