Your Development
Advances in Science and Engineering make it imperative that we take your development seriously and in Serco we believe in helping your growth through lifelong learning. For our long term success we depend on the talents of our people, whether they're new to us or they've already established a career for themselves here.
That's why we encourage and reward initiative and ambition at every level within the organisation. And through comprehensive training and development programmes we give people everything they need to fulfil their potential - and, we hope, sometimes to surprise themselves with what they achieve. Because in contrast to many businesses we have a less formal and rigid approach, people aren't boxed into jobs - they have the opportunity to shape their own roles here.
We take care to induct you into the Serco family, its culture and commitment to bringing services to life. Once you've settled in, we encourage you to develop and own your own Personal Development Plan. We expect you to think about your career ambitions whether this is about enhancing your current technical specialism, developing into new fields or branching out into project or general management. Mapping out and pursuing your career steps is vital to this process and requires commitment from you and ourselves.
Your development will be more that just courses and programmes, we'll seek to give you the real-life experiences that you need whether this is by secondments, project work or special assignments. In addition, our leading edge technical work often involves working closely with universities. These close links provide a route to support further academic study and research programmes where appropriate.
As the company grows, so do the opportunities available to everyone. We offer plenty of scope for career progression by virtue of the range of technical areas and markets sectors we work in, as well as being part of the wider Serco Defence, Science & Technology and Serco Group.
