Staff were eager to find out how UNISON membership can support them in their roles providing care to some of our community’s most vulnerable people.

Westwood Homecare became the first of Stockport Council’s private homecare providers to engage with UNISON as they welcomed organisers Niki and Dan to their team meeting.

Staff were eager to find out how UNISON membership can support them in their roles providing care to some of our community’s most vulnerable people. Niki and Dan were also pleased to learn that Westwood already employ a number of practices which UNISON outlined in our recent Ethical Care Charter – including paying staff for travel time and providing provision of at least 30 minutes for care visits.

All members of Westwood’s staff signed up to UNISON membership and Westwood are keen to agree a recognition agreement with the union in order to develop our relationship.

UNISON would like to work with all providers of homecare, and would welcome any queries from homecare companies.
