Learning and development

We want you to be the best you can be and we also want you to feel like you've got a great place to work.

We will give you the tools and support to really make a difference and offer ongoing learning.

Your development is important to help you meet your own goals and ambitions. We appreciate a culture that values, encourages and recognises outstanding performance, with commitment to our vision and values.

You and your manager will agree a personal development plan that looks at where you are, where you want to be, and what tools you need to get there.

It is important that you also take an active role in seeking out opportunities and materials to learn and develop particular skills. We have a growing suite of e-learning tools and materials that are available to you as well as CDs/Video/DVDs, reference and work books.

You can also use our interest free qualification loan if you choose to take a course of study which is not a requirement of your role. The course does not have to be work-related; it just needs to lead to a recognised qualification.
