“Investment into staff training is one of the best investments we can make as a company. Whilst we have always committed to providing a high standard of training to our team, we are taking a step further in 2021 by launching our new online training portal, where our team can access a much wider range of training".
James Fry, Managing Director
Continuing our Culture of Learning and Development
We are pleased to announce the first of several improvements to care training for the team at The Great Care Company. We have teamed up with the leading training provider ELearning For You, part of The Access Group, to support our amazing team with increased learning opportunities and career development tools. The aim is to ensure that our “culture of learning and development”, as described by CQC in our last inspection, continues to improve and go from strength to strength.
A commitment to continued investment into employee training and personal development has been made
Everyone in the team is excited to get going with the new training available to them. We have even seen several staff complete a number of new training courses, on the new online training portal, within the first few days of the system launching.
Over 60 New Courses Available
The online care training portal features a free app so our team can complete their training anywhere they want. The app is really easy to use and even comes with a tool to support people with Dyslexia.
With over 60 courses available, our team now have access to some of the UK’s leading training in the home care sector. All of the training includes a range of assessments, which must be completed, so that we know that our team understand what they have been taught.

Commenting on the announcement, James Fry, Managing Director, said
“This is a key area for us in 2021 and introducing a safe, efficient, and extensive training system to our service is just what we need to keep our commitment to staff development and well-being. I believe our staff are some of the best in the business and I want to keep it that way. By having this mindset, we continue to improve and, hopefully in many cases, exceed the services deserved and expected by our wonderful clients.”
The new online training courses are written and developed for the care sector in conjunction with national subject-matter experts and have been designed to make training in care efficient, flexible, relevant and engaging for all staff. On top of the online-based courses, our team are now offered new “Support Sessions” whereby staff can access support from other experienced members of the team to help them with any area’s they are finding difficult either over the phone, a video call or in person, where it’s safe to do so in a COVID secure environment.
More to come with training and professional development in 2021
This is just the first of many improvements to training and professional development being created for the team in 2021.
We continue to invest into every single member of The Great Care Company team. This is because we recognise how important it is to provide the right training and the right skills to everyone in the company. By doing so, we can continue to provide the high quality of home care services that we are known for and continue to be a leading home care provider in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire.
