Rewarding Adult Care Staff while tracking professional development
The Care Professional Academy is a platform available to everybody working in Adult Social Care. As an Academy Care Professional you can log your training certificates and qualifications, access care sector news, and gain access to exclusive rewards and discounts.
Our aim is to professionalise Adult Social Care, for those working in care to be treated like professionals and for the wider public to view care as a professional career choice.
You are not ‘just a carer’. Whatever your role within Adult Social Care, it is a skilled sector to work in which requires high-quality training and people with the right values and attitude towards supporting vulnerable people.
By joining the Academy, you are leading the way in professionalising the sector, showcasing your training and development and getting much-deserved rewards for being a care professional.
Professionalise Adult Social Care
Working in Partnership
The Care Professional Academy started as a partnership between Hertfordshire Care Providers Association and Adult Care Services at Hertfordshire County Council and was aimed at ensuring the entire care workforce across the county was trained to a professional, best practice standard. The remit has grown beyond Hertfordshire and the Academy is now available in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough and continues to develop into other areas.
The Care Professional Academy is available to purchase for ALL Social Care Providers across UK and Local Authority. To find out more visit https://www.careprofessional.co.uk/services or email contact@careprofessional.co.uk
The Academy is available to all adult care providers and all services across the entire country including residential services, community groups, Direct Payment Holders, domiciliary care.
This would not be possible if it were not for the various staff powering these organisations, however, it is recognised working in social care is not always seen as attractive. We aim to support recruitment and retention, and help individuals continue to recognise and grow their knowledge, creating a culture of excellence through continuous learning and development.
