Staff Development

We are delighted that our average length of service at Pendine Park is 4.5 years and that 44% of new starters have come because family or friends recommended working at Pendine Park. Our belief in the importance of staff development lead to us setting up our own award winning Teaching Care Centre and over 80% of our staff are at Diploma level 2 or above. We support many complex care needs by having a highly trained clinical and nursing team.

We also focus on innovative work based learning with Mentors who deliver excellent on the job training programmes. Our Training and Career pathways, which include Health and Social Care Qualifications, Leadership Development Programme and Career Fairs support staff who wish to develop.

Role modelling is something we are passionate about, which is why we invest in mentoring staff and also reward role model behaviours.

We support and are very proud of our many staff who have achieved Wales Care Awards and our commitment to staff training, support and development opportunities was recognised when we achieved Investors in People Gold.
