Across the Trust, we are dedicated to offering meaningful CPD to all employees. We have access to a range of apprenticeships as well as middle and senior leadership courses.

All of our employees have access to online training resources, allowing you to pick from a wide range of training.

We have many years of teaching skills and expertise across our employees who can mentor and train those looking to improve their skill sets and access future employment opportunities. Collaboration across our schools means we share best practice and support is there from like-minded colleagues.  Supportive staff, committed to improvement, who will work with you to achieve your goals.

At Humber Education Trust we believe that effective induction is one of the best ways to welcome and integrate new staff into our organisation, thereby ensuring that they settle in and are able to work effectively and as efficiently as possible. Induction to Humber Education Trust takes place at a number of levels and involves contributions from a range of people.

The induction process is a thorough, robust process. Leaders avoid overloading new members of staff with too much information at once.  Therefore, the induction process is broken down into five phases:

1. Prior to a new employee’s first day
2. The first day
3. End of the first week
4. At the end of the first month
5. A final induction meeting after six weeks.

Each phase is structured around four main aspects, each with its own intended outcome(s). The table below sets out the name and outcome(s) of each aspect:

All new staff are allocated a mentor to provide specialist support relevant to their role. A 'buddy' within their school is also offered. The 'buddy' provides informal support to ensure our new employee quickly feels comfortable in their new environment and has someone they can speak to about any aspect of school life.  

At the end of the induction period, our new employees are confident about HET culture, policies and our organisation. They have the basic knowledge to do their role and be competent to work unsupervised.

A new member of staff may be subject to a probationary period. HET ensure that this is conducted as a separate process alongside the induction timeline with the support of Human Resources.
