An employer’s guide to building a tend-trained team

From learners to leaders: the employer’s guide to tend apprenticeships

As your go-to partner for must-have solutions in health and social care training, tend knows apprenticeships are more than training programmes. They’re stepping stones to real career growth.

Our courses, from Levels 2 and up, give employees the chance to build new skills, gain confidence, progress in their careers, and transform from learners into leaders, setting the example for an entire critical care sector.

For employers like you, the reward is a stronger, more capable workforce. For your staff, completing their apprenticeship means becoming tend-trained, seen throughout the care sector as a mark of excellence, demonstrating expertise and a commitment to care quality.

Careers with heart, skills with purpose

Our focus is on healthcare, adult care, and related sectors, ensuring your teams gain training that’s relevant, practical, and aligned to the challenges of your industry.

Why employers choose apprenticeships

Investing in apprenticeships through tend offers clear advantages:

• Role-relevant training designed around your organisation’s needs
• Flexible delivery through work-based and digital learning
• Stronger staff retention thanks to new opportunities for development
• Futureproofing by equipping employees with resilience and adaptability

When your staff are tend-trained, it reflects your commitment to quality and professional growth.

Ongoing guidance and support

Every apprentice is supported by a dedicated Development Coach, ensuring consistent progress and regular communication with you as the employer.

Just 6 off-the-job training hours per week allow employees to expand their skills. This time can be counted as attendance to key meetings and events, shadowing, coaching, and more. It’s not time away from their role. It’s an investment that benefits both the learner and your entire organisation.

tend is your partner in success. That’s why you can also reach out to our team via email or telephone anytime. A dedicated member of our team will be happy to help you with whatever you need.

Achieving success together

With a 99% end-point assessment success rate, tend apprenticeships deliver results. Employees complete their programme with nationally recognised qualifications, sector-specific expertise, and the credibility of being tend-trained.

It’s not just a qualification. It’s a signal to your sector that your workforce is skilled, capable, and ready for the future.
