THRIVE

Supporting the Women Who Power the Care Workforce

If you manage a care team, many of these challenges may sound familiar:

• Staff feeling overwhelmed or emotionally drained

• Burnout leading to increased sick leave

• Team tensions or unresolved conflict between staff

• Carers lacking confidence to speak up or handle difficult conversations

• Talented staff who struggle with self-belief or progression

• High turnover due to stress and lack of support

Women make up the majority of the care workforce, yet many are working under intense emotional and practical pressures every day.

The Thrive programme was designed to address these challenges directly.

This 6-week facilitated programme supports women working in care roles — including carers, senior carers, support workers and supervisors — to build the skills and mindset needed to thrive in demanding environments.

Through structured sessions and peer support, participants develop practical tools to:

✔ Communicate more confidently with colleagues and managers

✔ Handle conflict and difficult conversations more effectively

✔ Build resilience and manage workplace stress

✔ Strengthen confidence and professional voice

✔ Feel more motivated and valued in their roles

 

For organisations, the benefits include:

• Stronger teamwork and communication

• Increased staff confidence and engagement

• Improved wellbeing and resilience

• A more positive workplace culture that supports staff retention

When the people delivering care feel supported, confident and resilient, it strengthens the entire service.

If you're a care manager, provider, or training lead looking for ways to support your team’s wellbeing and development, I’d be happy to share more about the programme.

Meet your facilitator, Elaine Russell.

I’ve spent my career supporting learners, care professionals, and teams to grow in confidence, capability, and self-belief.

THRIVE was created from a deep understanding of the pressures women in care face — and a belief that personal development should feel supportive, not demanding.

✨ I believe women in care deserve to thrive, not just survive
