Boost Retention and Reduce Turnover

Financial strain is one of the main reasons care workers leave the sector.

Although hourly wages for care shift workers have increased by 33% over the past two years, inflation has risen by 11.04%, significantly reducing real wage growth.

Offering opportunities for your staff to upskill and progress financially shows a commitment to their wellbeing – and loyal, valued staff are far less likely to leave.

Strengthen Your Workforce from Within

By developing your team’s skills, knowledge and behaviours you create a pipeline of capable staff ready to step into more senior or specialist roles.

Here at Realise, we offer a variety of apprenticeship and diploma programmes designed to help your staff align with a specialist career pathway.

Investing in your current team reduces your dependency on costly recruitment agencies and external hires.

Enhance Quality of Care

Staff who feel confident, skilled, and financially stable are better equipped to focus on delivering high-quality care to your valued service users.

Upskilled workers often show greater initiative, professionalism, and engagement.

Improve Reputation and Attract Talent

Organisations that invest in staff training and financial well-being stand out in a competitive market.

A local or national reputation for valuing and developing employees makes it easier to attract high-quality candidates.

Support Compliance and Reduce Risk

More knowledgeable staff are better prepared to meet mandatory and statutory standards, follow best practices, and prevent issues before they arise – ultimately saving your organisation time, money, and all-important reputation.

Unlock Funding Opportunities

There are funding streams available such levy-funded apprenticeships, that allow you to upskill your team at little or no cost depending on your organisation size.

Taking advantage of these is a cost-effective way to grow your internal talent and keep training spend in check.

Build a More Resilient Business

Financially stable staff are less stressed, more productive, and more likely to stay.

When your team is secure and skilled, your business becomes more resilient, adaptable, and future-ready.
