As an organisation, we truly care about the amazing people who make our impact, mission, and vision possible. The wellbeing, growth, and happiness of our staff is at the heart of what we do; we could not deliver the services we do without our people.

We continually assess our offering to ensure it’s fit for purpose and designed to support our people in meaningful ways. Here’s a little of what we offer, from practical financial perks to physical and mental health support; we’ve crafted a package that reflects our commitment to enhancing the overall quality of life at work and beyond.

Here’s a little of what we offer:

  • Inclusive Environments
    We have a dedicated EDI Programme Manager who works across the organisation to ensure that our working environment is inclusive for all. We also have a team of voluntary staff ambassadors who help develop our internal expertise, critically reviewing our approach to supporting residents, participants, and staff, and helping to create an environment where individuals can grow and thrive.
  • Making a Difference
    No matter what team you are in, every single person at SIG helps us make a difference to lives every day. Our purpose is what drives us. Teams work collaboratively to ensure we are innovative in our approach and that every change made creates a better, wider impact.
  • Learning and Development
    We aspire to be a workplace where every employee has the opportunity to self-develop, learn new skills, gain knowledge, and feel empowered to grow their career. We offer a variety of in-house and external training and workshops to create a culture of learning and development.
  • Support
    We provide our management teams with the knowledge and skills to lead their teams effectively. Our dedicated People Management Training Programme brings processes, policies, and the employee lifecycle to life, ensuring managers are well equipped to support their teams.
  • Career Progression
    Many of our Executive Leadership Team and Senior Leadership Team began in frontline positions. Over the years, we have created opportunities for employees to take on new challenges, work with other teams, join events, and build the experience and skills needed to progress in their careers.
