At Choices Homecare, we know that outstanding care starts with outstanding leadership. A strong leader doesn’t just manage a team—they inspire, empower, and set the standard for excellence in home care.
That’s why, as part of Optimo Care Group, we’re proud to offer our team access to the Leadership Development Programme (LDP)—a game-changing initiative designed to equip our leaders with the skills, confidence, and knowledge to elevate care delivery.
Investing in Leadership: Why It Matters
Home care is more than just a service—it’s a responsibility. Our leaders ensure that every individual receives high-quality, person-centred care, and to do that, they need the right training, the right mindset, and the right network of support.
That’s exactly what the Leadership Development Programme provides.
By being part of Optimo Care Group, Choices Homecare leaders have had exclusive access to a structured, high-impact leadership programme that wouldn’t be available outside this network.
A Year of Growth, Learning, and Impact
Throughout 2024, our leaders participated in 10 interactive training sessions at the Oldham Athletic Events Centre. Each session was designed to be practical, engaging, and immediately applicable—with a mix of role-playing, quizzes, and team-building activities.
Key Focus Areas of the LDP:
📌 Regulatory Responsibility – Understanding CQC compliance and home care service regulations.
📌 Operational Excellence – Balancing efficiency with delivering exceptional care.
📌 Leadership Development – Gaining confidence, inspiring teams, and managing change effectively.
By investing in leadership, we’re ensuring that every Choices Homecare location has strong, knowledgeable, and motivated managers who can lead their teams to deliver the very best care.
What Our Leaders Had to Say
But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what our managers had to say about their experience in the programme:
🗣️ Lynn Pass, Registered Manager, Choices Homecare (Oldham):
“The LDP was very informative. It gave me new insight into being a leader, with techniques to handle my role differently. It was great to meet colleagues from across the wider team and engage with them in a fun, interactive setting.”
🗣️ Nicola Cooper, Registered Manager, Choices Homecare (Sheffield):
“Since starting in September, the LDP has taught me so much about Optimo and Choices and the way we work. I’ve learned new techniques that I’ve implemented in my branch with positive outcomes. I’m sad the course is over, as I’ll miss the monthly meetings and the chance to connect with colleagues from other branches.”
Why Leadership Training is a Game-Changer in Home Care
Strong leadership doesn’t just benefit managers—it directly impacts the quality of care delivered to service users. When leaders are empowered and well-trained, they:
✔️ Build strong, motivated teams
✔️ Ensure high standards of care
✔️ Drive innovation and efficiency
✔️ Create a positive workplace culture
The Leadership Development Programme is just one of the many professional development opportunities available to our team at Choices Homecare through the Optimo Learning Academy.
