A partnership between Derby College Group<\/a> and a care home provider is helping learners take their first steps into long-term careers in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the past four years, Sanctuary Care has welcomed students to its three Derby residential care homes on placement, with a number of them progressing into permanent care roles within the organisation after completing their studies.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

All three homes provide residential, dementia, nursing, respite and palliative care for older people. On average, each home employs around 40 staff working shifts to deliver round-the-clock care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, Derby College Group said: \u201cThe partnership gives students the chance to put their classroom learning into practice while developing valuable empathy, communication and teamwork skills in real-world care settings, often leading to a permanent place in the Sanctuary Care family once their studies are complete.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yunus Giwa, Sanctuary Care\u2019s volunteer engagement manager, said: \u201cThe Derby College students are a breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur residents love seeing a new face, especially when it\u2019s someone young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome are grandparents and really enjoy interacting with younger people and spending time with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStudents don\u2019t need experience when they come to us, but they do need to be caring and supportive. Carers must have empathy, good listening skills and be team players.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
