Course Outline

Leading and manging performance begins from the moment of engagement of a new member of staff. Outstanding care can only be achieved for people using services if the correct support and training is given to staff.

In the care sector, staff turnover is high and the recruitment of quality staff is both costly and competitive. It has never been more important that we upskill our staff, giving them the support and tools to perform effectively in an open, respectful environment.
