Our approach to learning and development is centered around delivering a high-quality, engaging experience, designed to help you grow both your career and your skills. You will be supported in your first few weeks with an Induction Plan and mandatory training for your role.

After this, you will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of resources designed to help you advance your career. Whether you’re looking to build new skills or refine existing ones, we have a range of exciting courses and career pathways available. From new and improved skills-based courses, to virtual learning experiences, there’s something for everyone.

These learning opportunities are designed to be flexible, allowing you to choose the path that best aligns with your professional aspirations. Whether you prefer hands-on training, interactive eLearning modules, or pursuing formal qualifications, we are committed to providing you with the resources you need to continue your professional growth.

You can grow your skills and knowledge at Four Seasons Health Care Group through our partnership with The Skills Network. We have a range of apprenticeships available to team members working in our care homes and for those working in central support team positions.  They are a great way to develop your skills and knowledge, relevant to your job role and at the same time gaining a recognised qualification. When you are ready to develop your skills, your Manager will be able to advise how you can apply for an Apprenticeship.

YourHippo

We use YourHippo as our virtual learning and development platform. It’s packed full of courses directly relevant to your new or current role and it offers opportunity to develop your skills too. Each course is fun and easy to complete. Whether you want to develop your knowledge of dementia, end of life care, medication administration, or improve your management skills…there is sure to be something for you.

We offer webinars and face-to-face courses on a range of topics to help develop our team. Topics include, Essential Leadership, Mentoring Skills, Supervisor and Manager, First Aider and more. You can access these through the bookings section of YourHippo.

Care Home Assistant Practitioners (CHAPs)

Care Home Assistant Practitioners can carry out aspects of care delegated by the Registered Nurse in the home. This is a great career pathway for individuals wanting to take on more clinical responsibility. Our Home Managers identify where and when we might need a CHAP in a home and will recruit on this basis. As part of this career pathway, we offer a 12-week CHAP programme, which includes training and workbooks across a range of topics. There is also a re-validation which takes place 3 years after your qualification or earlier if needed.

Progressing your career

We actively encourage individuals to progress in their role and to go for advertised positions within our business. We have Home Managers who started as Care Assistants and worked their way up to become a Home Manager. If you want to progress, we can support you with learning and development.
