Your Career Framework

Published 26 Aug 2020 in Colleagues
Across the Society, we have a diverse workforce, with a wide range of talent, skills and experiences to match.
To support you all with development planning, we are introducing a new career framework which maps all job roles across the Society and determines a ‘level’ at which that role operates, based on the job skills, knowledge and training required.
With ‘openness’ being one of our core values, the career framework is a tool that demonstrates our values in action, with transparency for all colleagues in relation to what’s expected of them at their level of job role, their pay bandings and career development opportunities.
The following video explains more about the career framework, how it has been developed and what it means to you.
Over the next few days, we will be communicating with you about where your role sits within the framework.

A real benefit of the framework is making it clear to all colleagues what knowledge and experience is required at each level of the Society. This allows you to tailor your development plans to focus on what you’re great at that you can improve, and gain new knowledge and experience to prepare you for your next step. To help you understand this in more detail we have developed the Career Framework Guide.

We are also developing a Career Roadmap which we will be sending out over the next couple of weeks. Our roadmap enables you to easily navigate throughout the different areas of the business to see what career path options you have, either where you currently work or elsewhere in the Society, along with what development opportunities are available to make that next step.
If you want to discuss your development or career, please talk to your line manager in the first instance or refer to the Learning and Development or Apprenticeship pages of Colleagues Connect which we will continually update with the latest information on what development is available for you.
We have tried to anticipate your questions regarding the Career Framework and have developed a Frequently Asked Questions guide below to help answer them.
