Hotel teams up with care firm on training base

A LEADING care provider is to start training newly-qualified nurses at Sketchley Grange Hotel and Spa in Burbage.

Partnerships in Care (PiC), one of the UK’s largest independent providers of specialised, secure and step-down care, has chosen the four-star hotel as a suitable location to base its training academy for the next three years.

Keith Barry, Group Head of Nursing for PiC, said the hotel is ideal due to its well-connected location and top facilities

He said: “We were looking for somewhere central that all of our newly-qualified staff could get to easily and we needed a venue that could cater for all of our needs – and Sketchley Grange ticks both boxes.

“The standard of the facilities, including the bedrooms, are second to none.

“Everything is spacious, modern and above what you would expect for a hotel that caters for conferences – they also allow our staff to use the spa and leisure facilities which is a real perk.”

The hotel features nine air-conditioned meeting and function rooms and boasts a contemporary business hub which has been fitted with the latest technology, break-out areas and a complimentary refreshment bar.
