Training, Learning and development: needs are identified through regular supervision and our Joint Performance Review process. Line managers review progress and are constantly looking for ways to move people on in their careers – whether that’s through new responsibilities or high-quality training. All new starters are supported to achieve British Sign Language Levels 1 & 2 and Deaf Awareness training as a core training need. We run a range of management development initiatives and are supportive towards achievement of other professional qualifications according to specific roles.

Investor In People: we gained our accreditation in 2004 and we are dedicated to providing all our staff and volunteers with regular internal and external training and professional development opportunities.

Induction: We have a comprehensive induction that helps our employees to understand the organisations principles, values and philosophy.

Career progression: we nurture our most talented people and recognised they are our key asset. We also encourage staff to progress upwards through the organisation offering secondment opportunities and providing supporting in personal development plans.

At bid services we value our staff and volunteers and we are committed to their development.
