Vets4Pets

Aspire is working with Head Nurses and Senior Receptionists on Advanced Apprenticeships in Management giving them the confidence, knowledge and skills to become effective managers.

Aspire has provided one-to-one coaching for Vets who own and manage the practices to support them to manage all aspects of the business at the same time as providing excellent clinical service. Veterinary Science is one of the few professions working mostly on their own resulting in high stress levels.

This work led to a further contract to provide an online Learning Resource Centre and a 12 month programme which is accredited as a level 5 qualification with CMI. The programme has been designed exclusively for Vets4Pets and is open to all business owners, practice managers and support centre managers.

Westward Care Homes

Working on a large performance management project, Aspire initially work-shadowed Heads of Department in order to identify the competencies required for the various roles.

A competency framework was devised by job profiling all relevant staff which in turn led to a re-writing of all job descriptions and training supervisory & management staff on the new Performance Management system & Competency Interviewing. The culmination of the project was a company- wide initiative to improve customer service, ensuring all staff understood and felt committed to a higher level of service standards.

‘We have worked with Aspire for a number of years.  Aspire have helped us with branding, competenicies and performance management and have been a real asset to the development of the organization and its values’.
