We offer a large number of training available both for work related development, as well as other interests. Furthermore, within The Springfield Project, staff can expect to receive regular 1:1 meetings every 4-6 weeks with their line manager and an annual performance review and appraisal. Through personal development plans, you will work with your manager you to identify any development which can help you grow in your role.
