Career Development & Learning
We want to provide staff with an environment where they can learn every day, have the opportunity to develop and are able to play to their strengths.
We don’t map out careers for our staff; instead we make sure everyone is aware of the opportunities available, we talk about careers and development regularly and provide ways for staff to experience new skills.
Ultimately though, we believe individuals own their own career and if an individual lets us know where they want to get to, we’ll try to do everything we can to help them get there, as we love to see people grow and progress.
We can offer:
- A coaching culture
- Challenging work
- Freedom and autonomy
- Opportunities for personal growth
- Secondments/participation in project groups
- A mentoring scheme
- Qualifications
- Access to e-learning courses
- An online learning hub
- Regular development discussions
Pay & Benefits
We may not always be able to pay as much as some places in terms of base salary, but we can offer you a work experience that money just can’t buy. We also like to think we offer a pretty attractive total reward package that includes the follow benefits:
- A 37 hour working week
- An occupational sick pay scheme to support you financially whilst you are absent from work
- Enhanced maternity pay so you can really make the most of your time off with your child and two weeks paid leave for partners
- A fantastic pension scheme and life assurance through the Greater Manchester Pension Fund to help you protect your future and so that you can enjoy your retirement
- A generous annual leave entitlement so you can recharge. This starts at 26 days per annum and increases to 31 days per annum, with options to purchase or bank leave for a special occasion
- Access to a car loan scheme
- A career making a difference
