Ystradgynlais branch nominated for Employer of the Year award

ACT Nomination - Abacare Staff members at our Ystradgynlais branch are celebrating after recently being nominated for Employer of the Year at the ACT Training Apprenticeship Awards.

The ACT Apprenticeship Awards celebrate the successes and achievements of learners and employers who have shown commitment, passion and drive.

Joe Jenkins, Branch Manager at our Ystradgynlais office, said: “We work closely with ACT to offer apprenticeships in the care industry, so we were thrilled to be nominated in the Employer of the Year category in its annual awards.

“ACT offers apprenticeships at level two, three, four and five and also offer management courses for progression in care for all staff.

“By supporting our staff and encouraging their career advancement and providing opportunities to strengthen and extend their knowledge we’re also helping provide an exceptional service to all those members of the public we support too.
