At The Abbeyfield Society* we recognise what’s important to our valued colleagues. We want to attract the best people to work for us and once you’re here we want to keep you in the Abbeyfield family. We know reward is important and so we offer a competitive benefits package.
We’ve put together an overview of the benefits that are currently available and hope your time with us here at Abbeyfield is both rewarding and enjoyable. Abbeyfield is proud to offer you a range of benefits. We’re always looking for new initiatives to share with you. Why not take a look to view the range of benefits available to you?
At Abbeyfield we believe that providing new starters with the right development and guidance during the induction period is essential to quickly achieve the expected level of performance in their role. New starters have 24/7 access to our Abbeyfield Development Academy from the offer stage, including a vast variety of development opportunities. Support from the manager, colleagues and a nominated buddy, is also provided to help the new starter settle into the new role and to understand the new workplace. The induction learning is tailored to the job role responsibilities and requirements and it also includes an introduction to processes, policies and resources applicable within the service and the wider organisation to support personal development.
