About the programme
The Fast Track to Care programme is designed for those with little or no experience in social care.
Successful applicants to the training programme will, over the course of 6-7 days, receive the most essential training to work in either a home care or residential care role. References, right to work, and DBS checks will be undertaken at the same time. Upon completion Fast Track to Care graduates will be matched with vacancies in the Vale that best suit them, many of which will offer immediate start dates.
During the programme you will receive:
- Accredited training that matches your preferred job role
- A mentor to support you throughout the programme
- Candidate matching to ensure the opportunities available meet your needs and skills
- Support post programme to aid your transition into employment in the sector
Applications are being welcomed for a March 2023 intake to the training programme.
For those who pursue Domiciliary Care and cannot drive The Vale will provide driving lessons and Fast Track driving tests (Terms and Conditions apply)
