An always-on approach to exceptional care
Quality, competency and consistency are paramount in Health and Social Care. It’s a sector where specific training is vital for most roles, so developing key skills, knowledge and behaviours are essential for providing the best support to those who need it most.
Apprenticeships are crucial for empowering your workforce by upskilling existing employees, but they’re also invaluable for overcoming recruitment challenges. And it’s never been more important for the sector – an estimated 6.8% of roles in Adult Social Care were vacant in 2020/21 (that’s equivalent to over 100,000 vacancies advertised on average, per day).

Our forward-thinking approach means we’re recruiting and retaining a pipeline of skilled and qualified people, with tailored workforce strategies that unlock bright, progressive futures for careers in care.

Our apprenticeship service
Hospitality designed for Care
At Lifetime, we understand that the work hospitality teams do within a Care environment plays a vital role in the resident's quality of care. It’s why we’ve developed practical, role-relevant catering programmes that focus on fulfilling the nutritional needs within a care setting, designed to enhance residents’ overall experience.
Expert coaches
Our Quality Improvement Coaches (QIC) are industry experts, equipped with unique insight and hands-on experience from prior sector experience. Our teams become immersed in our partners’ values, objectives and cultures to drive high-quality teaching and exceptional delivery. Through quarterly standardisation sessions, we ensure a consistent approach on a national scale.
Boosting careers in Care
Our apprenticeships empower businesses with the upskilled people they need to stay ahead, by developing future-focussed progression pathways for employees across the sector. By aligning our programmes to existing roles, it’s easy to show team members how they’re able to develop and grow a successful career in Health and Social Care – and the best route to get there.
Social mobility, diversity and inclusion
Recruiting externally and improving access to training reaches and empowers more people in underrepresented communities, disadvantaged locations and low socio-economic groups. Health and Social Care employers can drive social mobility and build a more inclusive workforce, gaining far more than increased skills and apprentice numbers.
