• celebrate achievements from all departments and teams.
• Equip employees to act as ambassadors for the HCPC.

• Unite employees under one brand, helping colleagues to understand how they contribute to our purpose/vision and bring to life our values.

The post holder will also provide guidance to management on employee engagement.
