Ideal Academy: turning care into a career

Leeds-based Ideal Carehomes offers residential care across 22 homes throughout Yorkshire, the Northwest and the Midlands, employing over 1,000 people.

Here, head of development and engagement Sarah Colling, discusses its Ideal Academy and the benefits of training and development programmes within the care industry

Ideal Carehomes’ Ideal Academy was born from a passion to provide the best quality training, development and support for care, ancillary and management staff across all levels and job roles. Prior to the Academy, we felt training and development could be improved to achieve higher levels of staff retention and job satisfaction. 

With the help of Ideal Carehomes’ senior leadership team, I launched the Ideal Academy last year to provide a training and development package to suit staff at all stages of their career, considering different ambitions and goals. This not only focuses on nurturing those who want to develop their career, but also looks at what Ideal can offer to those who are looking for more job fulfilment and responsibilities.
