A Culture of Learning
At Victoria Care Centre, we are dedicated to fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional growth. We recognise that our staff is our greatest asset, and we wholeheartedly encourage them to enhance their skills and knowledge with opportunities for obtaining relevant experience.
Each team member undergoes a comprehensive formal induction, followed by tailored ongoing training programs. We provide specialised supervision-based training focusing on critical areas such as tracheostomy management and the care of individuals with prolonged disorders of consciousness. Our training sessions are scheduled at least twice a month, ensuring that our residents receive the highest standard of safety and care.
Our commitment extends beyond initial mandatory training; we map out clear career development pathways for our staff, empowering them to pursue their professional aspirations within the care sector. Our Training Team is passionate about unlocking the potential of each team member and cultivating an environment where learning, growth, and career advancement are encouraged and celebrated.
We are dedicated to equipping our workforce with the skills necessary to thrive in the care industry. Through continuous training and proactive support, we cover all aspects of professional development, meeting the evolving needs of our staff.
