Investing in our team

Training & Development.

Our team is the heart of everything we do. We invest deeply in their training, supervision and progression — because better-supported staff means better-supported young people.

What we offer our team.

  • Trauma-informed care training
  • PRICE / restraint reduction training (Restraint Reduction Network approved)
  • DBT-informed practice training
  • Reflective supervision and clinical input
  • Pathways to senior, specialist and leadership roles

Recognising our people

From Employee of the Month rewards to celebrating long-service milestones, we believe in genuinely recognising the people who give so much. Past winners have enjoyed spa days and overnight breaks at Crow Wood — small thanks for big effort.

External recognition

Our development culture has been externally recognised — Highly Commended Employer of the Year (North West) and three nominations at the National Children & Young People Awards 2025: Senior Manager of the Year, Biggest Impact (team), and Social Worker of the Year.

"Over the last couple of months we have watched Shannon grow and develop as a PRICE instructor. Shannon is a great asset to Associated Wellbeing and the Reducing Restrictive Practice Team."
