​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:
