Career growth, it starts with you.

When you become a part of the Lifetime Group, you’ll be provided with clear and accessible career growth opportunities through structured learning and leadership development. Whether you are at the beginning of your career, looking to strengthen your current role, or preparing for leadership responsibilities, we’ll support you to achieve your ambitions. 

Right from the start

Your journey begins with an immersive induction workshop, where you’ll meet a range of people, including fellow new-to-Lifetime Group colleagues and some of the key people from across the Group who you will encounter along your journey. 

This is followed by a tailored onboarding process to ensure you have all the information and tools you need to get to know your role, the part you play in helping us achieve our vision, and learn how our values are embedded in everything we do.

Our group development programme, Journey of a Lifetime, supports you to take control of your career growth, at all levels. With career guidance, learning resources, and tools you need to build competence and confidence in your role, and evolve your career.

Whether you’re looking to refine a specific skill, work towards leadership, or complete a more comprehensive learning programme, Journey of a Lifetime provides a flexible and structured pathway for you to identify areas of improvement then harness structured frameworks to grow and evolve.

Skills frameworks, built around you

Our skills and leadership frameworks define the key competencies needed at every stage of your career with Lifetime Group, helping you to shape a development path that is both structured and flexible to your aspirations. 

Designed in collaboration with managers and functional leaders, our skills frameworks outline essential skills you need to succeed, and how they can be developed over time. They serve as a guide to create personalised development plans, helping you to enhance your capabilities and thrive in your role.

These are complimented by our leadership frameworks, providing clear expectations at all leadership levels, ensuring alignment with our strategic business goals and supporting individuals who aspire to lead. We’re creating leaders who are: 

Responsible: acting with integrity, accountability, and fostering a positive team culture. 

Visionary: setting strategic direction and inspiring others. 

Evolution-oriented: driving continuous improvement and innovation. 

Future skills

Our approach to development is shaped by our mission, vision, and values. We want our people to build the skills they need to succeed in their roles today while preparing for the future.

Once you've developed strong capability in your core role, you'll be encouraged to focus on one of our five future skills. These are the skills we've identified as being important to our future success, both now and in the years ahead, and they provide an opportunity to focus your development on a future focused skill area.

Some of the most valuable learning comes from practical experience, working with others and applying new skills in real situations, so we focus our development opportunities on in-role development, social learning, and professional development.

Technology and AI

Develop your confidence in data, digital tools and AI while building the skills needed to support informed decision making, innovation and new ways of working. Opportunities focus on strengthening technology and data literacy, alongside specialist expertise in areas such as product expertise, AI, and data driven decision making. 

Business development and sales

Build expertise in sales, product knowledge, and commercial awareness. Development in this area focuses on creating opportunities for growth through international capability, global networking, stakeholder management, and strategic influence. 

Product development and delivery

Develop your skills in creating and delivering impactful products and learning experiences. Areas of focus include customer experience, teaching and delivery models, digital innovation, commercial training, curriculum design, and assessment development. 

Business governance

Strengthen the capabilities that support sustainable business growth, including commercial and financial awareness, governance, procurement, and third-party management. Development in this area helps build the skills needed to support innovation and continuous improvement. 

Leadership

Develop people centred leadership skills focused on responsibility, ethical decision making, accountability, adaptability, and collaboration. This Future Skill supports the development of leaders who can help create a culture of learning and growth.

Growth

It starts with a conversation

You’ll talk about your personal and professional growth twice a year with your manager. The Grow Conversation is your opportunity to reflect on your performance, identify learning and development needs, and set future career aspirations. These conversations ensure that you have a clear plan for personal and professional growth, leveraging the skills and leadership frameworks to guide your progress. 

It’s enabled through apprenticeships 

We don’t just deliver apprenticeships—we also believe in their power and potential to change lives and build careers across the Lifetime Group. Our apprenticeship programme, Growing Talent, provides structured training and development opportunities for both new and existing employees. It integrates seamlessly with Journey of a Lifetime, offering clear progression routes and valuable experiences that enable employees to gain qualifications while excelling in their roles. 

It's supported by collaboration 

Collaboration is all around you when you’re a part of Lifetime Group, such as our In Their Shoes programme to shadow others to see how your roles align to achieve our group goals, buddying with colleagues to enhance each other’s skills, and mentoring and coaching to learn from experienced professionals and share your expertise.
