Care Homes
Workforce training for care homes
Training and evidence for residential and nursing care home teams, from induction to refreshers.
Where the pressure sits
A care home runs around the clock. Day, night and weekend staff rarely sit in the same room, bank staff come and go, and a manager still needs one current view of who has completed what. Elevate lets every shift complete training on a phone or shared device, and gives the manager the record without chasing paper.
- Night and weekend staff who miss classroom sessions
- Bank and agency staff whose training sits outside the home's records
- Refreshers for the whole team falling due in the same month
- Evidence held in a folder in the manager's office

From Woodlands Rest Home, a care home using Elevate
“Elevate has been an incredible support during a really challenging time. They took our outdated training matrix, set up our staff accounts, matched courses to the correct dates and enrolled everyone. I didn't have to do a thing.”

Getting started
We set up the home (or each home), its teams and roles, then import your staff list. Night and weekend staff receive the same invitation and can complete training on their own phone.
Common questions
- Are care-specific subjects such as safeguarding or medication included?
- We offer a range of care training subjects. Availability, delivery format and what's included in your subscription are confirmed in your quote, so you know exactly what your team will have before you commit.
- Is general manual handling the same as moving and assisting people?
- No. Manual handling covers loads and objects; moving and assisting people safely is a separate care subject. Ask us about availability for the care-specific course.
- Can bank and agency staff use it?
- Yes — anyone you add as a learner can be assigned training and appears in your reports, so their records sit with everyone else's.
- Will using Elevate guarantee a good inspection outcome?
- No training system can promise that. Elevate helps you keep training current and produce a clear record when someone asks to see it.
