Training and Development
We offer ongoing training, learning and development throughout your journey in the organisation, from induction to developing your career and skills. Our comprehensive training calendar encompasses practical education on everything from clinical essentials to wellbeing to leadership. There’s the chance to gain relevant vocational qualifications such as SVQs. Plus, you’ll have lots of peer and management support, from workplace mentoring to our People Services team at head office.
Career progression
They say it takes a village – and in our care homes that village is big. From carers to cooks, activity coordinators to area managers, maintenance staff to nurses, there’s a diverse range of positions. And for those who want to move up, sideways or to another of our homes, career progression can be rapid.
Balhousie Benefits and Refer a Friend
Our corporate benefit programme includes retailer and gym discounts, a 24/7 hotline for legal, financial and wellbeing advice, and access to face-to-face counsellors. In addition, our Refer a Friend recruitment incentive scheme awards existing staff £250 when a friend is successfully hired. .
You can be an Everyday Hero

“Balhousie’s training is top notch so I soak it all up, every course that comes along.”
