Why Choose Castle Hill Training?
Since 2013 we have specialised in delivering practical Moving and Handling group training to care providers throughout Yorkshire and across the UK.
Our courses are designed to improve both staff confidence and resident safety. Rather than teaching one fixed technique, we help delegates understand the principles behind safer moving and handling so they can make appropriate decisions in real situations.
Training can be adapted for residential care homes, nursing homes, supported living services, hospices, hospitals, rehabilitation units and domiciliary care providers.
What Our Clients Say
