1. Career development and progression with Bexley Council

At Bexley Council, we believe that every individual deserves the chance to develop and succeed, no matter their role or where they are in their career journey. 

We are proud to offer a wide selection of training and professional development opportunities, including workshops, e-learning platforms, apprenticeships, secondments, mentorship, and coaching. Our commitment to our staff and community is relentless, and we are dedicated to investing in your development to help you reach your full potential.

Learning and development at Bexley go far beyond formal training sessions. It encompasses self-directed learning, coaching, supporting your colleagues, participating in staff network groups, exploring new departments, and engaging in meaningful discussions and reflections, both individually and as a team. The opportunities for your growth and development are limitless.

Every year, as part of the appraisals process you will have a Performance & Wellbeing Conversation with your line manager, where you will agree your personal objectives for the year ahead and pinpoint the training and development needs that will help you to grow and succeed. However, learning and development should not be confined to these annual discussions but should be a core element of your regular 121 discussions through the year.

Moreover, our diverse range of apprenticeship schemes offers talented individuals the opportunity to enhance their skills on the job, applying their learning in real work environments with the guidance and support they need to succeed. 

At Bexley, your growth is our priority, and we are here to support you every step of the way to become the best you can be.
