What people say about working at Innovate

I felt so welcomed into the team from day one; my manager is really approachable and I know I can get support from everyone else in the rest of my team. It’s been really enjoyable, and I feel I’m learning new things and being challenged.
I worked as an associate before joining as a permanent team member. It’s been great to see how you support people within the business, it’s so much better than I expected. Innovate are a really inclusive and caring employer – I got that impression as an associate but I know it’s true now that I’ve started!
I really enjoy the process of getting feedback from my Clinical Team Leader – in the past I’ve felt that feedback is only given when it’s negative, but it’s different here. I feel like I’m learning from it and making changes. It’s also two-way, so I’m able to explain to my Team Leader why I did something and then they understand too.

What you can expect as a new team member at Innovate

We think it’s really important that our people feel secure and welcome as part of the team, even before their first day starts. You’ll have dedicated support from the recruitment team in the run up to you becoming a fully-fledged Innovator – and we make sure we communicate lots with you so even if your induction in virtual, you know you don’t have anything to worry about.
