Your development
We take staff development and progression seriously
We believe that our strongest organisational asset is the calibre and commitment of our staff. We recognise that for staff to feel confident, knowledgeable and empowered to do their jobs effectively we need to invest in them, through learning and development.
As a result we encourage a strong learning culture at Tower Hamlets where staff development is firmly embedded in supervision, and via an extensive training programme.
We also offer structured career pathways to help you to take your career to the next level.
