Care Home Group Trainer

Training is nothing, will is everything. The will to act. So said the baddy in Batman Begins. What the heck does he know about training? He was a megalomaniac, not the amazing Care Home Group Trainer that we are looking to recruit.

Having said that, I think he did teach Batman a thing or two and here's a point. Great training gives people the will to act, and to do so with the confidence and conviction that is professionalism.

You do not have to be a Batman expert to apply for this job. You do need to be interested in:

• 30 hours per week part time, that's likely to increase when a couple of new developments are up and running in a year or so.
• 30k full time equivalent, that's 18k per annum for 30 hours per week.
• A post within a forward-thinking company, with a solid reputation across North Wales and parts of the North West of England, and an inspirational senior leadership team, known for always doing the right thing.
• Having a key role amongst a team of dynamic up and coming managers, each of whom has been handpicked for their expertise, pro-active attitude and excellent local authority links.
• Established existing programmes of induction, training and development to get to grips with developing.
• An existing culture of best practice, evidenced by very decent CQC and Care Inspectorate Wales ratings.
• A mix of stunning working environments including newly renovated and opened, currently being extended and a brand new state of the art facility in the pipeline.
• No expense having been spared to provide modern, well equipped, yet homely environments for the people in their care.
• The opportunity to further develop your own career and grow within a burgeoningly successful company.
