Your first step with Aurora will be to complete a full induction at your chosen site. This face-to-face induction provides support with digital learning and ensures you are safe, legal and able to start your career with us.
We are keen to help our teams improve their knowledge, skills and careers with us. To support this, we offer one of the best educational pathways in the sector.

Professional Development
Appraisals and Continued Professional Development
Across the group, all staff are expected to complete a formal annual appraisal, which includes setting clearly defined objectives and planning professional development activities. This facilitates a best practice approach and helps our teams have a clear direction for the year ahead.
We also encourage employees to look for informal knowledge and skill development opportunities, including shadowing an expert, attending workshops or learning digitally.
Digital Learning
Our Digital Learning platform enables all our employees to access learning on demand, whenever and wherever they need. We currently have over 300 digital courses, videos and activities, covering everything from improving wellbeing to specialised skill development.
Management and Leadership Development
Our internal Leadership and Management workshops are delivered by one of our in-house Aurora experts, either face to face or virtually through Microsoft Teams.
“My training has been very in-depth. Working for other organisations, I've often felt rushed and 'thrown into the deep end', but this is completely different and I appreciate that greatly.”
