Learning is in our culture

Learning means more to us than compulsory training. Alongside the courses that you’re required to do, we’ll give you opportunities to grow as part of development programmes that you’re interested in so you can fulfil your potential.

We believe we’re learning all the time. We help each other to figure out new things together in our workplaces, recognising those satisfying “moments of learning” which bond us as a team.

The number of people who stay with our charity over many years, and work in multiple different roles across various teams, is a testament to our culture.

We love helping our people progress and build their expertise even further.
