We\u2019re delighted to announce that the Together Trust has been included in this year\u2019s Financial Time\u2019s Best Employers<\/em> list \u2013 one of only four in Stockport to do so!<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Now in its second year, the FT\u2019s Best Employers rankings are compiled in collaboration with global data firm Statista. The results are based on an independent survey of 20,000 people across the UK, with workers asked to share their views on their employers in key areas such as workplace culture, wellbeing and salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across almost 50 services in the North West, our charity\u2019s mission is to champion the rights, needs and ambitions of the people we support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our amazing colleagues – many of whom have worked here for more than 20 years – work hard to foster an inclusive, supportive and inspiring environment whilst carrying out the incredible work they do for the people we support every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019re immensely proud to be recognised as one of the UK\u2019s Best Employers, and amongst the very best in the area,\u201d says Roland Guy, People, Culture & Digital Director at Together Trust. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis achievement reflects the hard work and commitment of our colleagues here at the Together Trust to deliver life-changing support every day and create the inclusive, compassionate workplace that we\u2019re so proud of.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Last year, we were delighted to achieve the Investors in People Gold Award for the second time running, an accomplishment achieved by only 17% of accredited organisations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Together Trust currently offers 180 accredited learning opportunities through apprenticeship schemes, funded NPQ Education Leadership programmes, and PBS qualifications, all of which are accessible to our staff at no cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
