Arranging Care

Professional Healthcare

Direct Care

Arranging the right person centred complex care can be distressing for both you and your family. PCS have the experience and training support to ensure that the care package you select will be specifically tailored to your needs and expectations. Once eligibility for funding is approved there are three types of Direct Care provision:

Continuing Care – Funded by a Clinical Commissioning Group or Local Health Authority

PCS will work with both the client and their Clinical Commissioning Group or Local Health Authority to accurately assess and determine the most appropriate person centred complex care package. This will be presented for authorisation, including full costs and package requirements, often in the form of a tender. Once approved PCS will recruit, train and directly employ the required care worker support.

Direct Payment Care/ Personal Health Budget – Funds allocated directly to the client’s family

PCS will work directly with you to accurately assess and determine the most appropriate person centred complex care package and support plan. PCS can provide the full range of services necessary to assist you with establishing your care package – from assisting you with the employment of your care workers or, if you prefer, for PCS to employ them ourselves. PCS can also help manage your funding provided directly to you by your local Clinical Commissioning Group or Health Authority.

Compensation Care – Funding via compensation payout both pre & post settlement

PCS acting as Case Managers will work in conjunction with your legal advisors and any insurance company that has awarded the compensation package to you. PCS will co-ordinate the most appropriate person centred complex care package for you on behalf of your solicitor or insurance company. PCS will provide the necessary reports to support the specific care that you require.

Care Commissioners

Whether you’re a Local Health Authority, hospital, legal advisor, case manager or an Integrated Care Board (ICB), PCS can help. Our hand-picked client centred recruitment and PCS Training Programmes are a key part of our tailored person centred complex care services.

PCS not only provide hand-picked support workers, we can also provide co-ordinated Case Management Services and every aspect of Care Management. All of our care managers have many years’ experience of implementing and overseeing complex care packages in the community.

 

We train each support worker to work solely with each client and, unlike many competitors, our dedicated client rotas ensure both continuity and consistency of support.

Our experience and expertise enables PCS to train our support workers with complex tasks such as suctioning or ventilator care. This avoids the need to wait for NHS support and unnecessary stress and anxiety for clients.

Children’s & Young Persons Service

PCS’s children’s and young person’s service is overseen by our paediatric clinician Claire Stickley with support from various dedicated RSCN and children’s and young person’s assistant care managers. Claire has over 20 years’ experience having spent the majority of her professional career working in the NHS in a high dependency ward as a deputy sister looking after very sick and complex children and young persons with the last 5 years spent working with such individuals in the community.

With our in-house experts, PCS are able to provide specialist complex care for children and young people so that they can live independently in their homes. We also provide support for children/young people with complex needs to attend schools, nurseries and after school clubs. Conditions that we can support children/young people with include:

• Respiratory conditions – including invasive/non-invasive ventilation, suctioning (nasopharyngeal and oral)
• Muscular Dystrophy with respiratory distress (SMARD), sleep apnoea
• Tracheostomy care
• Cerebral palsy
• Spinal injury
• Traumatic brain injury and acquired brain injury
• Neurological conditions – such as muscular dystrophy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, hydrocephalus, Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), epilepsy and seizures
• Genetic disorders – charge syndrome, cleft lip/palate, Angelman syndrome

 

We are able to work with individuals of all ages. We work closely with the child/young person and their family to help deliver outstanding complex care. This provides the child/young person and family with the peace of mind that their loved one is receiving the best care to ensure they have the best quality of life.

Our care packages are client specific and personalised to the individual. All of our staff working with children/young persons are trained to a high standard by our paediatric clinician. Our training programmes are bespoke to each child/young person to ensure that their staff are appropriately trained and qualified to meet their needs.

Careers

Employment Opportunities

Realise your true potential by working with one of the best person centred complex care providers in the UK. We’re always looking for nurses, care managers and support workers to join our growing team.

The difference with PCS is that we provide face to face in-house, hands on PCS Training Programmes that are mandatory and client specific.

We recruit and train locally, throughout the UK, for each client. Having a Diploma in Health and Social Care is a great start but not essential. Remember unlike many competitors our training isn’t remote and outsourced – you’ll get all the training you need working directly with each client and when complete, you’ll get a PCS Competency Pack.

These follow best practice and are signed off by a qualified PCS clinician.

 

In addition PCS can offer our staff the opportunity to undertake further training and gain qualifications such as NVQs. As well as excellent rates of pay we also offer:

  • A pension
  • Good Attendance Bonus
  • Holiday Pay
  • Bank Holiday Enhanced Pay
  • Paid Training
  • Fixed Hour Contracts
  • On-going Training & Support
  • Promotion & Progression Opportunities
  • Early Pay system for support workers to access a proportion of their wages at any time before the next pay day

We are not an agency and offer secure employment opportunities with NO Zero Hour Contracts.

It’s easy to apply, with no complicated on-line forms to complete:

1. Submit your CV to [email protected]

2. If you’re the person we are looking for we will call you and carry out a 10 minute telephone screening interview

3. The next step is a video interview via WhatsApp

Please take a look at our current vacancies.

PCS Training Programmes

A failed care provision can be disastrous to a client’s recovery. That is why bespoke recruitment and client centred PCS Training Programmes are a key part of the service we offer and a key part of why our care packages provide a solid foundation for clients to live independently and achieve their goals.

We can train support workers to carry out complex tasks such as suctioning or ventilator care, thereby allowing clients to live safely in the community and back in their own homes surrounded by family and friends.

Unlike many of our competitors, PCS Training Programmes are face-to-face, hands on and client specific. We provide practical training by PCS in-house clinicians including observational and classroom tasks.

Our approach provides you and your potential clients with a number of benefits:

• Involves the client and their family in the development of the staff to work with them and in tailoring the package to meet the client’s needs
• Enables PCS to analyse the client’s situation and requirements in real time
• The client benefits from having staff trained specifically to meet their needs rather than generic training
• Consistency and continuity – staff recruited and trained to work with the one client
• Helps clients feel more confident and enabled, allowing them to have a better quality of life and be more independent
• Many competitors only provide remote, non-hands on training, that is often outsourced

Testimonials

Professional Healthcare

‘‘I am a 23 year old girl with a spinal cord injury. I have been paralysed from my chest down. My case manager highly recommended PCS and put me in touch with Jin Garcha. With Jin, we discussed hospital discharge and everything that would need to be in place before I could go home. PCS took all the stress away from me by sorting out my care package which is tailored to me with staff that are local to where I live. I want to thank PCS, and Jin, for not just treating me as a client but as a part of a family. In the 2 years I have been with PCS, they have made it possible for me to have as much of an independent life as I can”

 
– LB, C2-C6 Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury 

‘‘I’m 33 and have a T4 spinal injury. I have had care from a couple of different companies before we finally settled on PCS. The background of knowledge that the PCS support workers have, compared to other companies, was one of the main reasons why we chose PCS.

They undertake regular updates in competencies and recognise all sorts of signs and symptoms if the client is ever to feel unwell. They aren’t just there for physical support, they are also there for emotional support as well. As a family, we were always reluctant to have carers at home, but with the staff PCS provided, all our fears were alleviated.

PCS will always consider your circumstances and will help in any way that they can. I had a huge reluctance to do any physio. With PCS and their knowledge of how important physio is, I now have physio twice a week. If you are looking for a care team that will support and encourage, I would certainly choose PCS.”

– CW, T4 Spinal Injury

‘‘In January 2017 my Dad suffered a C4 complete spinal injury. Here in Northern Ireland, there is a lack of specialist spinal injury care providers.

Luckily for us, we came across PCS. I couldn’t imagine how we’d make a care package work through a company in England. However, nothing to PCS was an issue. No barriers in terms of distance or communication were shown. They travelled to our family home to introduce themselves. PCS allowed us from the beginning to be involved in the recruiting of staff. The caring role for Dad involves working within a very close-knit Irish family home and we wanted to ensure that the staff members fitted in just as part of the family. With PCS, this has always been respected and maintained and the staff team we now have are highly respected within our family.

PCS staff brought training equipment from England to our home to provide not only in-house training but also, since the COVID-19 pandemic, training has continued remotely via Zoom with no issues. We feel so much more at ease knowing that PCS provide what I can only describe as the highest standard of training and we feel confident knowing that staff competency is assessed and reviewed regularly.

Our care package is managed by a lead nurse and there are no barriers to our package being managed safely and effectively. With PCS, we have a highly specialist, bespoke care package which provides safe, effective and compassionate care and as a family we want to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation for all the hard work that PCS do.”

– NW, C4 Spinal Injury

PCS is great because I have my own team which is trained specifically for my needs, making them very efficient. They know my care needs in and out, and this fills me up with confidence in their ability to support me.

I’m really happy to have the team I’ve got in place to support me, and not have to have different staff every day.

PCS is helping with putting things in place so that I can go on holidays, concerts, events, and spend my time how I see fit. Being flexible with staff to allow them to come with me wherever I’m going, which means I do not have to compromise my lifestyle in any way, and I know I will be supported by PCS with whatever I want to do!

I feel supported on all levels, even got the manager to came with me to accommodate for my first holiday abroad!

Best things about PCS are that they’re very reliable, fun to work with, and are very approachable. Client HW

Claire and the team have been supportive from day one, with keeping me updated with information, including day to day activities. I am very grateful for the care and support my son receives, Nick,  CP Dad

“I have had worked alongside Claire and her team at PCS for a number of years. As a case manager I have instructed PCS to provide care and support services. PCS have provided high quality care for 2 of my very complex cases.

Claire is always very approachable, knowledgeable, and has been key to building robust support teams for both my clients. She is responsive when things go wrong and resolves issues swiftly. This has resulted in the PCS support teams being very stable with an extremely low staff turnover, which given the complexity of the clients supported, is testament to what a fantastic job Claire and her team do. I would have no hesitation in recommending Claire and the PCS team they really are a pleasure to work with” Jackie Chappel, Case Manager

KP has been under the care of PCS since 2015.  At the onset of PCS taking responsibility for KP’s care they managed a difficult transition of care teams and recruited an entirely new team. Due to PCS’s excellent management the team has remained more or less constant for the past 8 years.

The support and advice provided by PCS on all matters has always been measured, supporting both KP and her family.  We are in the fortunate position that our interaction with PCS now is rare simply because the Team in place are highly trained, reliable and effectively managed. PCS has a positive approach to new ventures to improve KP’s life and supportive innovation in KP’s care. MP, Husband
