Personal Development

Allied Healthcare has a range of training and development options to support you throughout your career – whether you are based in our Head Office in Stone, Staffordshire or in one of our over 110 offices across the UK. We offer a range of training programmes delivered via face-to-face sessions across the UK and also a series of shorter, web-based sessions that can be accessed from any of our offices.

The courses on offer are there to make you more effective in your chosen role but also to help you develop your career at Allied Healthcare. The courses we offer include:

  • Various branch-specific courses, e.g. effective scheduling
  • Time Management
  • Interviewing and Selection
  • Microsoft Excel and Word
  • Communication Skills Training

All staff are encouraged to undertake further training and development and Allied Healthcare has a professional development policy that offers financial support and study leave.

Branch Managers

As a branch manager you will go through an intensive and fully-supported six month induction programme when you start at Allied Healthcare. You will be assigned a Mentor and, with the ongoing support of your Operations Manager, you will be trained in all areas vital to you becoming successful in your new role. This will include:

  • People management
  • Financial management
  • Business planning and strategy
  • IT Skills
  • Compliance and Health & Safety
  • Employment legislation, equality and diversity

On completion of your induction programme Allied Healthcare will pay for, and offer you full support to achieve, the NVQ IV in Leadership and Management in Care Services (LMCS).

Further Qualification Routes

Allied Healthcare has signed the Skills Pledge with the government and is committed to ensuring that your learner journey does not end at Induction and Specialist Training. To this end further qualifications are available and Allied Healthcare have obtained government funding to achieve this important career step for our employees

You can gain a Vocational Qualification which is free of charge to you, (and is a requirement when working in the care sector). A numeracy and literacy programme is also available to you free of charge. Both qualifications will not only be beneficial to you but also for your future career prospects. All qualifications on offer are fully accredited and meet the national minimum standards


What support can you expect during your training?

Every individual is support in their learning by close monitoring, observation and assessment in the classroom, by our trainers.

Further to classroom based training, all workers are also given the opportunity to complete a period of shadowing as part of their induction. This involves attending shadow shifts with one of our more experienced care workers, again allowing you to grow in confidence in the role, before delivering care yourself.

Once you have undergone you induction training you will be given a workbook which a keeps record of all the training you have completed and also is evidence that you have successfully understood all the topics covered during your training. After all these are completed you will be awarded a training certificate, and any other awards that you achieve while with Allied will also be added to your portfolio as apart of your ongoing career development and achievements.
