Train2Succeed

HISTORY

When Sue & Mark Rickwood set up in the care-recruitment business nearly 10 years ago, they soon realised that there was a big need for quality training in the care sector. "It's a very specific sector, and it has very specific demands" said Sue. "Existing training just wasn't geared up to the industry and in some cases there were massive gaps and skills-needs. So we started running a few training courses and they were such a success that we launched Train2Succeed."

A LOT OF FUTURE

It's great news that people are living longer - but with an older population to care for, the care industry is going to be facing a major demand - for a growing number of carers.

Training has a vital place in the well-being of our carers and the service users they care for. The right training can help avoid stress and keep everyone safe. It can ensure that carers enjoy their work and reach their potential so they want to stay in the industry. It can help people work more efficiently smarter not harder. And, of course, better care means better quality of life for the service user.

OUR PERSONAL FUTURE

A message from Sue Rickwood: "We all think about the future in personal terms. What about when I am too old, infirm or ill to live at home? What about if I need sudden care provision? What about my family? They can be worrying thoughts. That's why we set up Train2Succeed we want to help everyone get a future they can be secure in. We are training staff to be the best they can be. And it's a re-assuring thought to know such well trainedpeople are out there looking after us."
