Progression.
We know progression is important to you, but it can mean different things to different people. That’s why we’ve created a range of support tools where you can gain valuable experience, acquire new skills and embrace greater responsibilities. Each progression journey is bespoke, but we have defined some fundamental steps:
Entry-level: These are the first jobs, usually needing little experience or qualifications.
Mid-level: These require more experience and skills, often with added responsibilities.
Senior-level: These roles involve important decisions, team management, and major contributions to the organisation.
Leadership: Managing the organisation’s direction and strategy as managers or directors.
Side stepping: Switching roles or departments for diverse experience or for more education to progress or get qualifications.
Flexible working
People give their best when their job fits in with their lives. So, wherever possible, we offer flexible working. There are several options available:
- Flexi-time scheme (for most roles)
- Compressed or part-time hours
- Job shares or term-time contracts where appropriate.
We’ve invested heavily in new tech to make flexible working possible.
