Career development & learning
Your first few days set the tone for things to come. That's why we put so much effort into giving people a warm welcome to their career with us.
No matter which area of the business you join, you’ll receive an induction that will help you settle into your team, give you a feel for what your role will involve and leave you feeling passionate, inspired and excited about your career with us.
Circle Health Group's training programmes
To support all employees to develop their skills, knowledge and behaviours including working towards relevant, valuable qualifications we launched a suite of national training programmes that have been designed to develop core skills and behaviours in key areas including management, nursing and customer service.
These are complemented by locally available courses to meet specific individual needs. Find out more about some of the Clinical Training available to our employees:
We are committed to providing opportunities for employees to learn, develop and achieve their full potential.
Our employees are all given development programmes in order to continually improve both their personal and business performance.
Circle Health Group Academy aims to provide appropriate, tailored and effective training and development at all levels. This is so that:
• All new employees are introduced to the company in a supportive way
• We support people to develop their strengths and bring their best self to work
• Employees are prepared for their roles and ready to take advantage of promotional opportunities that may arise, and
• Employees are encouraged to acquire additional skills and qualifications, which will assist them in their career with the company.
The Circle Health Group Academy covers all learning and people development activity at Circle Health Group.
We believe that talent should be nurtured at every level. All staff are encouraged to access courses and content through our bespoke learning management system called the Learning Space.
We recognise that our employees are our greatest assets. The correct recruitment and induction processes are vital in ensuring that new employees become effective workers in the shortest time possible.
These are shared alongside role and site-specific inductions, and everyone will have a buddy to help and support them. It’s important to us that all new employees are inducted appropriately.
There are a variety of learning paths available. We offer courses and modules tailored to your role, experience and goals.
For each role, Circle Health Group provides a comprehensive range of training deemed necessary (and therefore mandatory) for the job. Much of our mandatory training is delivered through e-learning. We are aligned to a core skills framework with NHS learning (from Skills for Health), which ensures that our mandatory training is recognised by specialist bodies.

• Preceptorship and OSCE programmes
