Training and developmentThrough the Lifeways Community Care training programmes, employees are provided with the relevant training, development and further education opportunities that enable them to deliver a professional and valued service.

It is very important that we have competent, well qualified, and motivated staff who can deliver supported living, registered care, transitional, short breaks and respite services to a diverse population of people using services, in line with Lifeways' philosophy.

Training at all levels

Programmes are designed to meet the demands of the organisation, the requirement of individual roles, while at the same time ensuring that the needs of the people we support are met. This ensures employees are fully prepared to deliver an effective and person-centred service. Support workers will undergo a formal induction programme that will lead to a nationally recognised vocational qualification, as well as specific training and development that will see them become a valuable member of our team.

Training for professional qualifications

Those members of our team who have clinical backgrounds will be encouraged to maintain their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) obligations through the use of either internal or external programmes or by attending seminar/conferences or workshops.

Lifeways Community Care also provides its management team with a specific induction programme which, along with targeted management development programmes, will provide all the skills and knowledge necessary to operate in a busy and rewarding environment.
