Career Development
We run a system of Career Development Plans (CDP) and Personal Development Plans (PDP). When you start work with us you will be given a CPD passport, our practical solution to help employees focus and record their career progression. Our modular training programme ensures learning and development opportunities.
Every piece of relevant experience that our employees gather either with us or elsewhere can be entered into the CPD passport, building up a body of experience and highlighting areas where an employee may want to seek out experience.
We take our line management and annual appraisals seriously and seek to ensure that an employee feels they can communicate effectively and develop in the way they want to.
Everyone has clearly defined roles and responsibilities, maximising our efficiency and reducing stress. We also pay CIfA subscriptions and give permanent staff time to prepare applications.

We want our people to work with us, not just for us.
