Nursing care provider Exemplar Health Care has launched a Leadership Pathways initiative to upskill team members and support the organisation’s growth mission.

The Leadership Pathways, part of the care provider’s Exemplar Health Care Academy, offer four learning programmes, each of which consists of seven modules covering essential skills and knowledge for effective leadership.

Aspire is aimed at senior health care assistants, registered nurses and aspiring managers; Engage is targeted at unit managers and first line managers; Accelerate is geared to home managers, deputy managers, clinical nurse managers and senior managers in central services; and Inspire is tailored towards regional directors, heads of department and other senior leaders.

Training is delivered through a blended approach, including face-to-face sessions, coaching, peer-to-peer learning, and on-the-job training.

Rob Coxon, director of The Exemplar Health Care Academy, said: “Following a period of rapid growth, it became imperative for us to create a bespoke training offer that embeds the ‘Exemplar Way’ and enables ambitious and talented colleagues to progress their careers.”

He added: “As we continue growing, we’ll require more leaders at every level – the pathways seek to develop these leaders from our existing talented team, supporting retention and giving colleagues the practical skills and career advancement opportunities that truly make caring at Exemplar Health Care a rewarding career choice.”

Steve Melton, Exemplar Health Care chief executive, said: ” Our goal is to empower our colleagues by providing them with the tools, confidence, and opportunities they need to thrive in their careers.”
