Learning & Inclusion

The aim of our Learning & Inclusion team is to inspire, engage, and motivate our people to retain, develop, and progress the very best talent.

 

We recognise that many people lack access to the right training necessary to develop their full potential. We are committed to encouraging all colleagues to embrace learning and enjoy a rewarding career. To achieve this, we offer tailored, inclusive training that meets the unique needs of each individual, regardless of ability.

 

We work closely with external training partners to access government funding, providing nationwide training opportunities and learning support. We also deliver internal training programmes to add the most value and have the greatest impact on each individual, constantly expanding the training available to offer comprehensive leadership and managerial pathways.

What's available?

Apprenticeship programmes

Apprenticeships are a great way to earn as you learn to obtain a recognised standard and/or qualification. Apprenticeships are available to all existing colleagues who wish to upskill and progress, and available to new colleagues which brings fresh talent into the business. We offer apprenticeships from level 2 to level 7, aligned to over 36 different career pathways to provide many career development opportunities.

Bespoke Training Programmes

We understand that a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to training isn’t always effective. We work with colleagues and leadership teams to provide bespoke training plans – creating programmes that align with individual goals, aspirations, and learning needs, whilst being targeted to business goals.

Recognised Accredited qualifications

We offer accredited qualifications that provide colleagues with certifications that meet high standards of academic excellence and industry relevance. These qualifications ensure colleagues possess the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in their roles whilst supporting career progression within SBFM and beyond.
