Learning and development 

We are committed to helping our colleagues grow - whether you’re developing new skills for your current role, preparing for career progression, or simply looking to expand your knowledge.

We offer a wide range of learning opportunities designed to support you in making a real difference. Our development offer spans everything from foundational learning to specialist qualifications, giving you the tools to grow in a way that works for you.

A learning culture that supports you 

Learning isn’t just a tick-box exercise for us - it’s embedded in how we work. From day one, you’ll have access to a variety of training and development options to help you succeed in your role and beyond. 

• A structured induction to get you settled into your role with confidence. 
• A mix of mandatory training and role-specific learning to equip you with the skills you need. 
• A commitment to career development with coaching, apprenticeships, and leadership programmes including a wide range of apprenticeships across clinical, operational, administrative and leadership pathways. 

Opportunities to learn and grow 

Our learning pathways help you develop at every stage of your career, whether you’re building confidence in a new area or preparing for progression. We know that no two career paths look the same, so we offer flexible learning to suit your needs: 

On-the-job learning 

Every role at Rethink is an opportunity to grow. You’ll gain hands-on experience, work on meaningful projects, and be supported to take on new challenges. 

Workshops and e-learning 

From mental health awareness to safeguarding, our online and in-person sessions cover essential topics that help you build your skills and confidence. We’re continually expanding our learning catalogue, so you’ll always have access to new skills, knowledge and professional development opportunities. 

Leadership and management development 

For those looking to take the next step in their career, we provide structured leadership training, including our ‘Managing the Rethink Way’ programme for new and aspiring managers. We offer development for current managers, aspiring leaders and those transitioning into people management for the first time.
