Training & development
The company thinks of its staff as an important asset and believes that it should invest in its people.
Here at USS we firmly believe that all staff should possess the skills necessary to be effective in their roles and develop to the best of their ability.
We realise the importance of people and value their contribution. Our vision therefore is simple: we want to recruit the best possible people and actively nurture and develop their talents.
Induction is the first element and our Training team make sure that all newly appointed staff are provided with the best possible system and developmental training so that they are truly effective in their job.
Our Induction process is all about training and support. Organisational performance depends on people understanding the culture, strategy and history of the organisation so that they can deliver and meet the objectives required.
You will be given regular feedback and advice in an environment where you are encouraged to ask for help from your colleagues.
Throughout your career with USS you will continue to receive support as needed and any relevant training or study will be fully supported.
All our Pensions Administrators are supported through the DPC (Diploma in Pension Calculations) with guidance from the Training team and staff in other areas are encouraged and supported to undertake relevant further education training.
