Investing in our people
Your career at St Andrew's Healthcare begins with a group induction, giving you the opportunity to learn more about us, understand what you can expect, and meet new colleagues.
You will also receive a local induction within your team or service area, supported by an allocated mentor who will help you settle into your role and the charity.
Each year, we invest in core skills refresher training across a range of important topics. We use a blend of e-learning and practical skills-based training to support different learning styles, helping you develop the confidence and competence needed to succeed in your role.
We are committed to supporting colleagues at every stage of their career. We provide access to learning opportunities, development resources and guidance designed to help individuals build their skills, enhance their knowledge, and achieve their professional goals, while contributing to the continued success of our organisation.
We encourage colleagues to take an active role in their professional development. Through regular conversations with your line manager as part of the Individual Performance and Development Review (IPDR) process, you can discuss your aspirations, identify development needs, and work together to create a meaningful development plan.
