Main Activities
Duties and Responsibilities

• Deliver the full range of mandatory and statutory training to care and support staff across allocated homes, in line with the Group’s mandatory training framework and the requirements of CQC (England), CIW (Wales), and Care Inspectorate (Scotland) as applicable.
• Deliver training across all mandatory topics including — but not limited to — moving and handling, fire safety, safeguarding adults, infection prevention and control, health and safety, food hygiene, medication awareness, basic life support, and DoLS/MCA awareness, using HC-One’s approved materials and session plans.
• Ensure training sessions are well-planned, well-resourced, and delivered to a consistently high standard, adapting style and approach to meet the learning needs of a diverse adult care workforce including staff for whom English is not a first language.
• Maintain accurate attendance and completion records for all training sessions delivered, ensuring records are promptly entered into the Group’s learning management system (LMS) and that Home Managers have visibility of their team’s training compliance status.
• Monitor mandatory training compliance within allocated homes, proactively identifying gaps, working with Home Managers to schedule outstanding training, and escalating persistent non-compliance to the Head of Training and Practice Development.

• Deliver practical skills sessions within homes, including moving and handling competency assessments, basic life support refreshers, and other skills-based programmes that require hands-on demonstration and supervised practice rather than classroom learning alone.
• Support the completion and review of role-specific competency assessments, working with Home Managers and senior colleagues to ensure staff are observed in practice, assessed against agreed standards, and provided with clear feedback and follow-up support where further development is required.
• Provide on-the-job coaching to care staff during home visits where training needs or practice concerns have been identified, working alongside individuals to demonstrate correct technique, give constructive feedback, and build confidence and competence in a supportive way.
• Support the induction of new starters within allocated homes, delivering elements of the Group-wide induction programme and working with Home Managers to ensure new employees receive a warm, well-structured, and compliant introduction to their role and to HC-One’s values and care standards.

• Build effective working relationships with Home Managers across allocated homes, developing a good
understanding of each home’s team, training history, and current practice development priorities.

supervision, competency assessments, incident reviews, complaints, or feedback from Quality
Improvement Leads, and plan training activity accordingly.

their teams between formal training sessions, supporting them to build a culture of continuous learning
and development within the home.

priorities.

• Collect and review delegate feedback after every training session, using evaluation data to continuously improve delivery approach, session content, and the learning experience for participants.
• Assess delegate learning at the end of training sessions where required, using knowledge checks, skills assessments, or competency observations to confirm that learning objectives have been met and that any individuals requiring additional support are identified and followed up.
• Conduct follow-up observations of practice in homes after training sessions where appropriate, checking that learning has been transferred into day-to-day working practice and that improvements are being sustained.

activity.
• Work with Home Managers to ensure e-learning is embedded within rotas and working patterns, so that online training is treated as a scheduled and priority activity rather than an ad hoc addition to the working day.
• Liaise with the Head of Training and Practice Development regarding any technical issues affecting e learning access or completion within allocated homes, ensuring these are escalated and resolved promptly to prevent gaps in compliance. Reporting & Team Contribution
• Provide regular updates to the Head of Training and Practice Development on training delivery activity, mandatory compliance status, and any emerging training needs or concerns across allocated homes.
• Contribute actively to Training team meetings, sharing delivery experiences, raising questions about training content or approach, and supporting a collaborative and reflective team culture.
• Support colleagues within the Training Facilitator team where needed, including covering training sessions in other areas during periods of absence and sharing materials or approaches that have worked well in their own delivery.
