At Optimo Care Group, we believe that great care starts with great people. That’s why we’re investing in the future of our teams through the Optimo Learning Academy – a bold step forward in developing confident, skilled professionals across every role.
As we prepare for the wider launch in 2025/26, our mission is simple yet powerful: Empower excellence through impactful, accessible, and engaging learning.
Building Confidence, Skills, and Leadership
Behind the scenes, our teams have been developing resources that go beyond ticking training boxes, they’re designed to shape culture and performance.
Recent developments include:
-
Manager Toolkits – covering team engagement, delegation & decision making, appraisals, and PDP frameworks.
-
Coaching Sessions – supporting managers to lead with confidence and strengthen team performance.
-
Refreshed Content – new programmes in medication management, compliance, and leadership development.
Whether stepping into a first leadership role or sharpening existing skills, these tools are here to help colleagues grow, thrive, and succeed.
Grounded in Our Values
The Learning Academy is part of our wider commitment to investing in people and service quality. It reflects our PRIDE values: person-centred, responsive, innovative, delivering delight, and fostering engagement, which underpin everything we do as a Group.
It also builds on our 5Ps framework, which shapes how we deliver care and develop our people:
-
Purpose – putting people at the heart of everything we do.
-
Process – ensuring well-coordinated, efficient delivery for meaningful outcomes.
-
People – investing in the growth, wellbeing, and recognition of our teams.
-
Performance – raising the bar to drive excellence across services.
-
Patterns – creating sustainable success through long-term growth, inclusion, and positive outcomes.
The Academy brings these principles to life by making continuous learning part of everyday practice, ensuring that both our workforce and our services thrive.
Supporting a Workforce-First Culture
As a workforce-first organisation, we know that sustainable care begins with strong, engaged teams. The Optimo Learning Academy builds on initiatives like our CPD-accredited training, leadership pathways, and the Wellbeing Matters programme, all designed to support our people both professionally and personally.
By embedding continuous learning into our culture, we’re not only building careers, but also ensuring that the individuals and families we support receive the very best care.
