Initial professional development
Who is this for?
The opportunities we have organised in this section are aimed at staff who are in the first six to twelve months of their role and who are seeking to develop foundation skills and knowledge.
The list is not exhaustive but indicative of the key opportunities for all Professional Services staff. There will be a number of other opportunities suitable for staff in particular roles that are not listed here. Speak to your line manager to clarify exactly what learning and development you need.
