City & Guilds University Boosts Care Home Staff Confidence

April 13, 2026

Our local care homes are getting a much-needed boost thanks to new programmes from City & Guilds University. These initiatives are designed to make a real difference to the people working on the front lines of care.

Better Leadership, Better Care

The My Home Life England programmes have been evaluated, showing significant positive outcomes. These include improved leadership skills and a boost in professional confidence for staff.

This means better quality care for residents. It also helps to keep experienced staff in their vital roles.

Staff are Feeling the Benefits

One participant highlighted the impact, saying, "The programme has given me the confidence to speak up and share my ideas." This shows the direct effect on individual staff members.

Another added, "I feel more valued and supported in my role." Feeling valued is crucial for job satisfaction and retention.
