Grow Our Own

WHAT IT IS AND WHY IT MATTERS

We identify and develop our next generation of staff, so we reflect the community we serve.

Grow our Own is at the core of our why as it feeds itself. We get this right they are going to grow that community through our focus themes. They will create a legacy as in turn they become the next generation of staff.

We are not just growing a workforce for the Foundation; we are doing this for our community, for local businesses and institutions like our Football Club. Our community reaching its potential means we are opening a world of opportunities.

The Journey – Being part of our Family.

We take them on a journey from participant to our employment pathway, College to University Student, work placements, part-time to full time, co-ordinator to management.

We instil a learning culture where we make better staff and better people.

The Foundation Alumni.

This is not a strategic aspiration and wish list – this is happening across the Foundation, the Football Club, wider football industry and beyond.
