Training and Development 

In the first week, you will complete a weeklong induction, provided with all of the information needed to start your journey at Connect2Care. This week, new graduates will shadow other clinicians, meet the team, & familiarise themselves with the centre, along with Connect2Care policies & procedures. You will then ease into a small caseload, gradually increasing over time.

All new graduates are allocated a clinical lead who will be a mentor for the entirety of their program. You will meet with your lead weekly, who will answer your questions, help you prepare for the week ahead, and work through client presentations, etc. Ultimately the clinical lead is there to support you & your journey, placing you firmly on a pathway to becoming a confident & skilled clinician.

Connect2Care also offers the following to new graduates to help ease their transition into the workforce:

· 24-hour access to a Teams chat, which allows staff to ask questions at any time

· A buddy system, where each new graduate is teamed up with a more experienced Connect2Care staff member who can provide guidance & additional support
