Our values
Our values are important to us, so they need to be important to you
They define who we are as an organisation and as an employer. Everything we do should be guided by our values. They set out who we are as people, what we stand for and how we act.
Our values take us forward and underpin how we will work today and in the future. They challenge us to think about what we can do differently and should prompt us to ask questions about what we can achieve together.
Can you already see yourself in our values?
- We are brave. We do the right thing, we accept and offer challenge
- We are curious to innovate and improve
- We are compassionate, understanding and respectful to all
- We are strong together by sharing knowledge
- We are all responsible for the difference we make.
Having a shared set of values as an employer brings everyone closer together and helps us to work better as one organisation.
