Our dedicated Learning and Development team will ensure you have everything you need to develop our abilities and achieve your full potential. This means you'll have a wide variety of opportunities to build on your skills to meet both professional and persona challenges.
We'll adapt to your needs.
We believe a strong work, life balance enables you to perform at your best. That's why, where possible, we try to offer alternative work arrangements, such as part time hours, job share options and term time working. We also take part in the Britain's Healthiest Workplace competition and use this to benchmark our progress and success.
We'll recognise your great work.
When you go the extra mile for us, we're committed to do the same for you. So, our reward and recognition system is designed to acknowledge your hard work and dedication, including quarterly awards for managers, individuals and teams. 
We'll invest in your health and wellbeing.
This is one of the key services we offer to clients, so naturally, we put your wellbeing at the top of our agenda. Our COO sponsors our Health and Wellbeing Committee. This employee-led group implements programmes and initiatives that help target the health risks affecting our employees. You'll be offered six-monthly health checks that measure your height, weight, cholesterol, BMI and blood glucose levels. You can also access our wellbeing platform and app, which includes tracking tools to support a healthy lifestyle. We also take part in the Britain's Healthiest Workplace competition and use this to benchmark our progress and success. 
We'll invest in your mental wellbeing.
We believe your mental health is as important as your physical health. So, in 2016, we worked with Mind to produce Added Value: metnal health as a workplace asset. We followed this up with an initiative to enable some of our senior leaders to share what they do to look after their mental wellbeing. In short, we aim to make this not only a great place to work, but one that supports your health and wellbeing so you can be your best. 
We'll offer you help where we can.
