Jamie Sarsfield began his journey in the care sector over 25 years ago, working in children’s homes. In 2004, he founded Orchard Rock, which delivers face-to-face training across the UK, covering everything from mandatory training to train-the-trainer courses. Alongside this, Jamie has provided consultancy within the adult care space, particularly in care homes. In 2017, he launched YourHippo, marking the start of his eLearning and LMS journey.
Jamie has prioritised customer needs in developing the LMS, building the system from scratch with an in-house development team based on industry feedback from his experience. Key features of the system include management dashboards for clear oversight, automations to reduce administrative time, and a seven-day-a-week technical support team for both learners and managers.
“We are constantly improving our system to make lives easier, for both Learners and Managers. We can’t forget that ultimately the aim is for the quality of care being provided to improve and we believe having the best, most advanced systems in place is crucial for care providers to achieve this,” says YourHippo Director, Jamie Sarsfield.
YourHippo has become a training hub with features like face-to-face bookings and events calendar. Managers can schedule training sessions, invite delegates who receive automated session details, and track attendance and scores. Compliance and matrix updates occur automatically once sessions are completed.
Currently, over 450 care groups across the UK use YourHippo, with over 2.3 million logins per quarter, making it a leading care training and LMS platform. The upcoming 12-month roadmap promises to further streamline learning and development with next-level innovation for all YourHippo clients.
