Ciphr’s identity and background checking functionality enables you to run background checks quickly and easily directly from your Ciphr platform for both candidates and existing employees and volunteers. We work with our trusted partners, Experian and TrustID, to ensure you can carry out checks when you need them.

Record details of any kind of check, for any employee, job candidate or volunteer, including:

• Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks
• Right-to-work checks
• Reference checks
• Passport checks

Against each check, you can record the validity of checks, expiry dates, relevant documents, and any other pertinent information.

Attract and engage employees, temporary workers and volunteers by using Ciphr’s HR and recruitment software and employee onboarding software (which are available either as standalone tools or integrated with Ciphr HR).

Use Ciphr iRecruit to publish vacancies to multiple websites, job boards, agencies, and social media channels, and to identify a talent pool of best-fit employees for your care home.

Once hired, use Ciphr Onboarding to make all staff feel like a valued member of the organisation by providing them with access to relevant policy documents, handbooks, FAQs, and multimedia presentations, and informing and educating them about your organisation’s structure, history, ethos, and culture.

Our learning management system helps you deliver and manage digital and on-the-job learning. It can host bespoke content that you’ve designed in-house, as well as off-the-shelf and bespoke content from specialist providers like Marshall E-Learning, part of the Ciphr Group, on topics ranging from compliance (such as GDPR, safeguarding, and manual handling) to soft skills and management training.

Ciphr HR’s timesheets functionality allows you to keep track of time that staff are working and manage costs appropriately.

Employees can submit the time they have worked for payment purposes and log time against residents and tasks, while HR can define those employees eligible for overtime payments and even accommodate tailorable breaks.

Work patterns, absence and overtime payments and rates are automatically available in the timesheets area of Ciphr HR. This helps HR regain control over overtime spend and ensure clarity around hours worked.

Our HR software can also integrate with specialist third-party rostering solutions to ensure your care home is always adequately staffed by people with the right skills, training and qualifications to look after the needs of your residents.
