Lansdowne Care Services set to quadruple their apprentices

You may remember from the January e-newsletter that Nick Flatters, Senior Care Manager at Lansdowne Road Home in Bedford had taken on his first apprentice, Carlie Emmerton from Bedford College.  This was part of a long term strategy to benefit the entire team at Lansdowne by developing the next generation of carers alongside more experienced staff.

Four months on, the Apprenticeship scheme has been so successful that Nick is now looking to take on four more apprentices – one for each department at their two residential homes and two centres. Nick said,

“We’ve found the Apprenticeship scheme to be very valuable and we’re now looking to bring in and develop more apprentices as our future workforce.  The fact that their training is supported by Government funding is extremely helpful for us as employers and the apprentices themselves have the chance to gain nationally recognised qualifications that stand them in good stead for the future.”
