"I joined Milton Keynes City Council in December 2021 undertook a two-week induction where I had the opportunity to do some shadowing and get involved with different meetings and visits to help me understand the role and processes better. During this time, I was able to meet with different members of the team who really made me feel welcome and helped me settle in. There was ample training available to me from day one and over time."
