Our bespoke induction training will give you the understanding of who we are, what you will do and how to do it. Along side our friendly dedicated team who will continuously support you, your induction training will also consist of a combination of e-learning, shadowing, mentoring, peer support, and additional training around core skills. Training will focus on the people we support to ensure their care is person centred.

What is an apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is where you're employed to do a real job while studying for a formal qualification. By the end of your apprenticeship, you'll hopefully have gained the skills and knowledge needed to either succeed in your chosen career or progress onto the next apprenticeship level. Autonomy Academy follows an approved study programme, which means you'll gain a nationally-recognised qualification at the end of your apprenticeship.

First Aid Training

First aid is an important tool in quickly responding to accidents to ensure that injuries can be efficiently and promptly dealt with before a trained medical professional arrives to administer more specialised treatment. First aid in services and with people we support is especially helpful, as individuals sometimes get into accidents that can need swift care in order to prevent things from escalating. Whether it’s a minor injury or something more serious like a fracture, preventing further complications is paramount. Ensuring there are trained first aiders within our services will help them to be safer environments for everyone.

Positive Behaviour Management Training

We have experienced accredited in-house Positive Behaviour Management (PBMpro) trainers who train employees in specialist behaviour management strategies giving them confidence and skills to assist with behaviours that challenge in a safe and dignified manner. Training is tailored to the needs of the people we support and our employees.
