Learning & development

SSC employees are responsible for delivering high quality services across all of the Research Councils. This opens up a world of opportunities in terms of developing new skills:

Creating the right environment

We are committed to treating all employees equally and fairly, and providing them with the same training and development opportunities, whatever their status, age, gender, race, disability, beliefs or sexual orientation. This also means developing an environment in which the diversity and dignity of employees is both recognised and respected.

Laying a firm foundation

Although different employees have different capabilities, everyone is given the same basic training. This ensures that every member of staff:

•    Clearly understands the SSC’s culture and values
•    Is equipped with the right behavioural, technical and process abilities
•    Acquires the skills, knowledge and expertise needed to meet our Service Level Agreement targets

We have an advanced and well integrated technical infrastructure. This enables us to deploy the latest technologies to support our employees as they seek to serve our internal and external customers.

Developing new opportunities

We are also committed to a policy of continuous development of our employees as we seek to build a workforce of the highest possible quality. We provide each individual with the competencies they need for their role as well as flexible opportunities that enable them to manage their own career development. We give you the support you need to succeed!
