“Pembrokeshire College have been an amazingly supportive employer to me, providing me with additional CPD and training in my job role. I am grateful to have an employer that has been able to see my potential to allow me to progress professionally in a field of my choosing.”

Learner Health & Wellbeing Officer

“Working at Pembrokeshire College has enabled me to reach my fullest potential alongside having the most varied and exciting experience of working - no two days are ever the same. I have benefited from Pembrokeshire College’s strategic goal of ‘being a College that invests in all its staff’ having completed four higher education qualifications and three apprenticeship frameworks. Through supported development, Pembrokeshire College has truly met my aspirations and pushed me to go one step further; from being employed as a Technician to Senior Lecturer to Curriculum Area Manager.”

Curriculum Area Manager

“I have experienced many personal challenges and health issues whilst working at the College, since the 1990s. My various managers, and the College as a whole, have always been very supportive. The support received has been extensive and has ranged from a change in working pattern to regular 1:1 support sessions with the Wellbeing Officer. Without the support received, I would not have been able to remain in work and be a valued member of the College team.”
