Exemplar Health Care’s pension scheme is offered through the Government's auto-enrolment scheme which sees everyone aged between 22 and the state pension age automatically enrolled after their first three months on the job.
The scheme,
NOW Pensions, sees colleagues have up to 5% of their earnings (depending on their salary) put into their pension. Exemplar contributes an additional 3%. This combined saving will go into your pension pot for when you reach retirement.
Each new starter has a DBS check paid for by Exemplar Health Care.
Exemplar Health Care offers various leadership programmes, and apprenticeships through the Government levy scheme. We also have a trainee nursing associate programme for carers who wish to progress in their care career.

As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues, the safety of our residents and colleagues remains our number one priority. We’re continuing to implement precautionary measures to reduce the risk across our homes, which you read about here on our website.
We understand that this is a worrying and unprecedented time and we will aim to keep you up-to-date and fully informed with all of our plans and procedures.
Infection control
We continue to implement strict signing in and out procedures across our homes, and all colleagues have received up-to-date training about infection prevention and control, including specific training about Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Our homes have increased their daily cleaning schedules and are equipped with adequate supplies of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for the coming months, to ensure that everyone living and working in our homes stays safe and well.
Visiting
Our homes are working in line with national and local guidance regarding visits to care homes. If you’d like to enquire about the visiting guidance and arrangements for a home, please contact the Home Manager. Please note that visiting procedures may vary by area, depending on the Local Covid Alert Level and other guidance from the local Director of Public Health England, which we must follow.
Supporting our residents
Our colleagues are doing a fantastic job of ensuring that residents can continue to live as fulfilled lives as possible. Each of our homes is supported by a dedicated Activities Team that is working creatively to plan meaningful activities for our residents, and we've purchased over 60 iPads to ensure that residents can keep in touch virtually with their loved ones.
Making a referral
Our homes are still taking referrals, where possible and appropriate, and we can carry out assessments virtually to support the admission process.
For more information or to make an enquiry, please contact our Referrals Team on 01709 565777 or email referrals@exemplarhc.com.
Further information
If you have any questions or concerns about Coronavirus, please contact your home manager in the first instance, or email us at enquiries@exemplarhc.com (Monday to Friday 09.00-17.00).
