At The Kensington Redondo Beach, we believe every team member deserves not only a place to work, but a path to grow.
Whether you’re just starting your senior care journey or seeking new opportunities to lead, our senior living training programs are designed to support and uplift.
Through mentorship, certification support, and career-ladder workshops, we’ve built a culture where personal and professional development isn’t just encouraged, it’s expected. Because when our team members thrive, our residents do too.
Learning That Starts on Day One
Training begins with a strong foundation. From your first day on campus, you’ll participate in a comprehensive orientation that introduces you to our mission, safety protocols, and relationship-centered approach to care.
What sets us apart? You’re never left to “figure it out” on your own.
New hires are paired with seasoned mentors who:
- Provide hands-on coaching during real-life scenarios
- Explain our memory care techniques and personalized service model
- Offer encouragement, feedback, and a supportive ear
Our approach combines compassion with clinical best practices, so whether you’re providing direct care or supporting dining and life enrichment services, you’ll have the tools to succeed.
Career Ladder Workshops & Ongoing Education
At The Kensington Redondo Beach, professional growth is an ongoing conversation, not a one-time event.
That’s why we offer:
- Career-ladder workshops for team members at every level
- On-site in-services on dementia communication, fall prevention, and more
- Hands-on skill labs to practice safe transfers, use adaptive equipment, and respond to real-time challenges
- Leadership development tracks for those who want to grow into coordinator or managerial roles
Many of our leaders today started in entry-level positions and moved up through these very pathways.
Certification Sponsorship & Support
One of the most impactful aspects of our training program is certification sponsorship. Whether you’re pursuing your CNA license, transitioning into a med tech role, or building toward nursing school, we can help you get there.
Team members have access to:
- Reimbursement for licensing or continuing education
- Scheduling flexibility for courses or exams
- Study groups and peer support
- Mentorship from current licensed professionals on our team
When we invest in your learning, we’re investing in the future of our entire community.
Real Stories of Growth at The Kensington Redondo Beach
Many team members at The Kensington Redondo Beach begin in entry-level roles and go on to achieve certifications, promotions, and leadership positions, all within the same community.
Through the support of our training programs and mentorship, they gain the skills and confidence to take on new responsibilities and explore different care specialties.
It’s common for caregivers to become CNAs or med techs, for CNAs to step into supervisory roles, and for dining, life enrichment, or wellness team members to grow into department leads.
These transitions happen not by chance, but by design. Our career-ladder structure ensures every individual knows what’s possible and how to get there.
When people stay, grow, and thrive in place, residents benefit from familiar faces and consistent care. That’s the kind of stability we’re proud to cultivate.
Why We Invest in Our Team
Our Promise to love and care for your family as we do our own applies to our team as much as to our residents.
By supporting growth, we nurture loyalty, reduce burnout, and create a stronger, more unified team.
In turn, our residents benefit from a more confident, consistent, and compassionate circle of care.
We invest in our team because their passion and skill shape every moment of the resident experience.
Our training program isn’t just about checking boxes. It’s about:
- Helping team members discover their strengths
- Equipping them with tools to make a deeper impact
- Creating real career pathways in a field that truly matters
Built-In Support Beyond the Classroom
Growth isn’t only about technical skills. That’s why we also offer:
- Emotional wellness programs for team members navigating the challenges of caregiving
- Peer mentoring circles to talk through common challenges and celebrate success
- Leadership access and transparency with leaders who are visible, available, and invested in your journey
We know that learning thrives in an environment of trust and connection. At The Kensington Redondo Beach, team members are encouraged to ask questions, share ideas, and participate in shaping the future of care.
This open-door culture makes it easier to seek support, troubleshoot challenges, and feel genuinely heard. No matter your role, you’ll have access to people who want to see you succeed.
