At Network Plus, we invest in our workforce through our growing Apprenticeship and Graduate schemes, as well as our internal Mentorship Programme. These are complemented by the diversity and inclusion initiatives in place:

• Women in Network Plus: our growing network of talented women are spread far and wide across the country, in a range of roles. We hold 2 live events each year, with educational webinars quarterly to update our members on progress points. We actively encourage women to seek out apprenticeship schemes to build up their professional profile within our business.
• Armed Forces: We continue to proudly hold our Silver badge with the Ministry of Defence and are looking for new ways to help ex-armed forces personnel, Reservists, Veterans and Military spouses/partners whether it’s through job opportunities or charitable support.
• Ex-offenders: Our recruitment team proactively engage with prisons to offer access to appropriate opportunities.
• Back to work: We work with the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) and local councils to help people get back into employment.
• Apprenticeship and Graduate schemes: We currently have 69 apprentices and 21 graduates and are committed to increasing our numbers on each scheme this year.
• Menopause Support Group: Our menopause support network, offering menopause specialist GP services to all those experiencing this at work.
• LGBTQ+ Network: We allow a safe space for individuals to receive support and advice. We want to create a sense of belonging and a community for any unique challenges and experience that people may face.
