Build a career with Healthcare Homes
Training is the lifeblood of any career. That’s why at Healthcare Homes we offer a comprehensive range of learning and development opportunities to all of our employees through our very own Healthcare Homes Academy.
Whether you’re joining Healthcare Homes as a first job, moving from a different sector for new opportunities or transferring from another care employer to seek progression, you’ll have access to our sector-leading, career-enhancing opportunities.
From programmes delivered by our in-house team of trainers and via our e-learning platform to externally sourced courses and accredited qualifications, the Healthcare Homes Academy offers learning and career pathway for every member of the Healthcare Homes family.
Why do we invest so much in developing our staff? Simple. Having knowledgeable and skilled teams ensures we deliver the best possible care and support to our residents and service users.

At Healthcare Homes, we seek to understand the career aspirations of each one of our team members and provide opportunities grow and develop with the company.
Whether you want to advance your knowledge in your current role or develop skills that will allow you to move to another job role within the organisation, if you have the right attitude and motivation, we’ll support you to develop your talents and your career with us.
We even offer leadership development programmes for aspiring future leaders of Healthcare Homes.



You will want to feel confident to work with a range of residents and service users and to understand their medical conditions, as well as their care and support needs.
You will therefore have constant access to a range of specialist courses which you can discuss with your line manager in your regular supervisions and yearly appraisal. These courses have been selected specifically for individual job roles and will enable you to develop your individual skillset further as you look to further your career with us.
In addition, we have a range of Dementia modules if you work in one of our specialist services which are all delivered by our expert trainer in this field. You may even be selected to become a Champion and be trained to support your colleagues after completion of an accredited course; a true recognition of your passion for the care and support of your residents.
You may have a particular interest in pursuing a career supporting our clinical nursing team. We provide not only individual clinical modules covering both theory and practice, but we have developed a new role of Assistant Practitioner where you can be trained to a high level of knowledge and skill in order to fulfil extended activities with our residents within our nursing homes.
There are over 40 subjects on offer including:
- Continence and stoma care
- Parkinson’s disease
- Stroke awareness
- Diabetes
- Mental Health Conditions
- Dysphagia
- Palliative care / End of Life Care
- Tissue viability
- Pressure ulcer care
You may have joined us as a Kitchen Assistant but have ambitions to be a 5 star chef. We can support you with a comprehensive development programme which will assist you to learn the skills to run one of our kitchens and lead a team of other staff. This journey will teach you all aspects of not only designing and delivering varied menus to meet the needs of your residents, but all aspects of running an efficient kitchen within a budget.
You may have joined us as a domestic and have ambitions to lead a housekeeping team. Again, we offer a development programme which will support you to meet all of your goals and head up these vital services in one of our homes. This will include all of the theoretical and practical aspects of managing a team within a budget and ensuring all hospitality services are provided safely and effectively for your residents.

We support all of our maintenance staff to achieve their IOSH Managing Safely course. This ensures they are proficient and confident in all aspects of health and safety to best support the home, residents and staff. Completion of Legionella Awareness Training, Fire Marshall Training and Electrical Appliance Testing are also part of our standard offer of learning and development.
All nurses are automatically assigned a series of clinical courses that cover theory and practice in order to support them in their roles with us. In addition, we can enrol you onto our RCNi subscription which will give you access to over 200 online modules, every copy of the Nursing Standard, a Decision Support Tool aligned to your everyday practice, and critically an online revalidation portfolio so that you are always ready to renew your registration.
And what if you want to progress to be a Deputy Manager or Home Manager? We can support you to enrol onto and achieve your Level 5 Leaders Accredited Qualification, which is recognised across our sector and most importantly by CQC.

All managers joining our services will be actively encouraged and supported to join the Level 5 Leaders accredited programme unless they have previously achieved. We then recognise that managers require ongoing support, mentorship and perhaps coaching; all services which we are actively developing. For those seeking progression, we have bespoke leadership programmes which are delivered by an external consultant. These programmes support our ambition for talent management and succession planning, and provide an opportunity to involve staff in the momentum of change and future development of individual services and our organisation as a whole.

No matter what role you are in, how long you have worked with us and what your ambitions are; we have an inclusive and comprehensive programme of accredited programmes which are fully funded. The programmes begin at Level 2 and work their way to a Level 7 Masters Degree Apprenticeship and are supported by recognised and quality assured providers.
We aim to provide opportunity and progression for all staff members as we want your role with us to give you a career and not just a job.
Whether you join us a care worker with aspirations to be a clinical practitioner or a manager; or a kitchen assistant to be a Chef; or a manager to be a Director; we have learning pathways and a career for you.
