About Consensus
At Consensus we are committed to making this statement real and meaningful for the people who work for us. It starts with offering you a welcoming work environment and comprehensive induction, followed by creative learning opportunities, career development and a sense of worth. Our colleagues make a difference to the lives of the people they support every day.
From day one we ensure that you not only have the skills and knowledge to fulfil your roles through a comprehensive induction, but you will also have the benefit of a dedicated ‘New Starter Lead’ who will provide you with the support and guidance in your early days with Consensus.
Before you even start your new role with us, we will introduce you to your New Starter Lead who will give you the confidence and reassurance you need before starting your role. You will be able to talk to them whenever you need to and ask them questions as and when. Seeing a familiar face on your first day always eases first day nerves. As well as a New Starter Lead, you will also be able to seek help and support from the manager of a service, as they operate an open door policy whereby open communication, feedback and discussion is key.
