Development available
Your development begins with an induction where you find out what it means to work for a local authority. You will discover where you fit within the council and how you can help achieve its objectives.
There may be specific training that you need to enable you to fulfil your role. You will receive an employee induction booklet and a new employee checklist. The booklet and checklist will be an initial guide to help you settle into your role.
The length and nature of any induction process depends on the complexity of the job and your previous skills and knowledge.
Our personal development planning forms part of our appraisal system. Your line manager works with you to identify any development required. This will help you to perform well, achieve your personal objectives and support your future career aspirations.

- role specific,

In turn this will help the council to create a high performing organisation.
