How do I become a trainer within domiciliary care?

At the Mandatory Training Group, we recognise the significance of having competent and proficient trainers and assessors in the health and social care field. That's why we offer a range of train-the-trainer courses that have been carefully created to meet the strict requirements established by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

We have subject matter experts who meticulously design our courses to provide aspiring trainers with a comprehensive understanding of specific care roles, ensuring compliance with current legislation, regulations, and policies. After completing one of our train-the-trainer courses, you will gain the skills to teach others confidently, making a long-lasting impact in the health and social care industry. This blog will discuss how you can apply your train-the-trainer course to become a care-at-home trainer.

Training your workers so they’re safe to leave

As a manager in domiciliary care, you are responsible for determining when a new worker is “safe to leave”. This key outcome of induction is reinforced by the Care Certificate standards and is particularly important for domiciliary care work, as the new worker should work without immediate supervision as a full member of the staff team. This reinforces the need for your team to receive proficient training.

Extensive options for training

Our train-the-trainer packages are equipped to provide you with all the necessary skills to create a fully compliant team of care-at-home staff. Our courses come with a comprehensive and templated structure that covers everything from icebreakers to assessments, ensuring that your sessions are both engaging and informative. Our commitment to providing high-quality training programmes to ensure effective workforces throughout adult social care sectors is fully endorsed by Skills for Care. You can access our courses through our easy-to-use learning management system (LMS) that provides full reporting capabilities and can be accessed from any device, anywhere and anytime.

We offer a collection of courses to help you become a competent, care-at-home trainer, which can be seen here.

Maintaining training records

An LMS allows you to evaluate the efficacy of your training and monitor the progress of your learners. However, a complete suite of software is available from The Mandatory Training Group that will help you manage your training and increase the efficiency of your operations. The ComplyPlus CQC Compliance Software will assist you in auditing and storing all your training and compliance documents in one place, it has an accredited learning management system and document repository for all your policies and procedures giving you the necessary tools to improve your compliance rating. Moreover, we provide materials including up-to-date policies and legislation, which saves you time searching.

This paperless tool is designed to save care managers time and effort to meticulously record employees' activities and achievements during the training process. It serves as proof of completion and progress, making it easier for managers to monitor and review employees' progress and, in turn, identify gaps for improvement.
