From the moment someone joins Havencare, they are supported with comprehensive training tailored to their role. We ensure our teams are equipped with up-to-date skills and practices, whether it’s through regular training sessions, professional certifications, or specialist development programmes.  

Right now, we have teams completing training in: 

• HuFTI (Human Factors and Trauma Informed Approach) 

Focusing on putting Workforce Wellbeing First 

• Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Leadership Programme 

Helping our leaders create and develop healthy cultures of care and support 

• Lead to Succeed 

Developing the leadership skills of our frontline leaders. 

For those looking to expand their careers, we offer clear pathways into leadership, specialist support, and training roles. Our leadership development programmes foster essential management skills, while specialist training enables staff to deepen their expertise in specific areas of our work. Many of our staff have embraced these opportunities to progress within the organisation and move into new, fulfilling roles. 

As one team member shared: 

“I feel very fortunate to have had Havencare invest in my career and support me to complete my Level 5 CIPD course. As a result, I am very pleased to now be able to put that knowledge into practice and make a difference, through my new role of Business & HR Manager.” 

Another said: 

“My first three years were transformative. With support from mentors, coaches and peers, I gained deep knowledge, pursued a Level 5 Leadership and Management Diploma and completed PBS leadership training.  Investment has also been made in developing me to deliver impactful training like DESCAL.8.  These experiences reshaped my skills, boosted my confidence, and empowered me to lead and inspire others.” 

Our commitment to personal growth ensures that every person is empowered to reach their full potential. By investing in our people, we are investing in the future of Havencare, making sure we continue to thrive and make a difference in the communities we serve.
