At Ascend Health Group, we have a comprehensive verification checklist for any new professional joining our team. This ensures that they can meet our high standards when providing services to all our clients.
When starting with Ascend, we verify each of our team members' identity, check their police clearances, and ensure a valid working with children’s licence.
We meet with all of our professionals when they first apply to join our team. We conduct at least two reference checks and verify their responses following our comprehensive interviewing process.
We are constantly looking for ways to improve the services we offer to the community by regularly following up with our clients. This gives us insight into what training or support our team needs.
