Development & Training: Diverse Abilities provides training & learning opportunities for all employees to ensure they can reach their full potential and fulfil their duties for their role. All staff are paid to attend training courses and the courses are offered in a variety of methods. We encourage staff to achieve a relevant workplace qualification, which are fully funded and for some maybe a requirement for their role. We have a team of experts to support staff to develop in a learning centred way and pride ourselves on the robust induction and on-going programmes we provide to ensure we are the best place to provide excellent services to all those we serve.
