Care homes and care services provider HICA Group has appointed Carl Taylor as regional trainer.

HICA Group has more than 1,500 employees. Taylor will provide learning and development to staff across a number of HICA’s care home and care services in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, including Grimsby Homecare, The Anchorage, Prospect House, The Birches, The Wolds, and Cranwell Court.

Taylor has experience in the care and education sector having previously worked for Kisimul Group which provides education and care for children and adults with autism, learning disabilities and complex needs. He was also a tutor at the Grimsby Institute, where he taught Level 3 psychology.

He will spearhead the delivery of induction training to new recruits and provide requalification training to existing employees, enabling them to stay up to date with the latest industry standards and practices related to care delivery.

His expertise in care and education, coupled with his passion for person-centred care, will undoubtedly elevate the training standards across the Group and enhance the quality of our care provision.”

Taylor commented: “I’m excited to be a part of the HICA Group and contribute to the delivery of exceptional person-centred care across the region. The organisation’s ethos of bespoke, high-quality care aligns with my own values, and I’m keen to ensure HICA continues to provide the highest standards of care through comprehensive training and development.”
