At
FirstCare, we believe that there is a shared responsibility between the
company and the employee to meet the needs of our
clients. To this end, we try to be as flexible as possible with all
employees meeting their professional goals, their personal needs,
and the needs of their families.
Likewise,
we also expect that all staff share the responsibility for coverage
of patients and job duties throughout the First Care Network. We
expect this so we can build and maintain a fluid team of staff,
willing and competent to accommodate the needs of our customers.
To
make this system work effectively, we expect:
Staff to
cover at sites consistent with their scheduled work hours,
experience,
skills and abilities with a willingness to
cross-train.
Staff
will be fully oriented, at a minimum, to all sites at the same
level of care to
maximize coverage options as the need
arises.
As
caseloads fluctuate, planned and unplanned absences occur,
or a patient requires
specific clinical expertise, staff
will be expected to adjust schedules as reasonably
necessary, to accommodate these needs.
It is
expected that all staff work with their Team Leaders to
assist with coverage to help maintain a spirit of equity and
teamwork.
Staff
demonstrating the ability and willingness to provide coverage
at various levels of care will be rated higher in the
areas of “flexibility”and“clinical skills” on their
performance review.
