Learning and Career Development

All new staff receive a comprehensive induction and training programme along with regular 1:1 support. Care staff complete the Care Certificate within the first 12 weeks  – supported and paid for.

You will also have your own on line learning account with access to an extensive library of video based learning

We also have development programmes to help you advance your career with Outlook Care. The majority of our middle and senior Managers have been able to apply their learning to gain promotion with us.

Recognition for what you do

Everyone needs to know when they’re doing a good job.

Our staff recognition and thank you scheme ensures that Managers recognise great work, thank staff and share and publicise achievements. We also reward and celebrate the great achievements of our fabulous workforce with an annual Best of Best Award.

Keeping you informed

Once in post you will be kept up to date through regular team meetings. You will also receive regular briefings so you are aware what is happening across the rest of the company.
