'New Deal' Pledge

St Ann's Hospice is committed to providing a real chance for people to develop their potential, gain new skills and experience.

To develop untapped talents to the benefit of both an individual and Hospice, we have made a pledge to ensure New Deal is a success.

We will work together with the Employment Service to make a difference to the life opportunity of the local community, especially those who are shut out or disadvantaged.

We will guarantee an interview for New Deal Candidates who meet the minimum selection criteria.

We will offer individuals entering our employment through the New Deal initiative:

• An environment in which your ability and potential will be valued and appreciated.
• Opportunities for training and development, focusing on the skills needed in the workplace.
• A personal development plan, to ensure your personal goals and aspirations are achieved.
• Access to a workplace mentor, providing you with support, advice and guidance.
