Additional Training

As a People & Change Consultant, you’ll use different skills and tools to help ensure clients are engaged in the design and subsequent adoption of change. Training might include:

Visual Facilitation

A method using drawing, diagrams, charts, and imagery to capture and represent ideas, concepts, and information. Enhances group discussions, meetings, workshops, and presentations with clients and peers.

Coaching

Supporting individuals or teams in unlocking potential, achieving goals, and enhancing performance. Coaches use self-discovery, reflection, and powerful questions to enhance client results.

Behavioural Science

An interdisciplinary field combining psychology, sociology, economics, and other social sciences to understand human behaviour. Apply these insights and tools to enhance project delivery and sustainability with clients.

Managing Projects

Project management is vital for Newton's success. Early in your career, learn by doing on client programs with guidance from your Line Manager and Udemy. As you progress, project management becomes more significant, and we'll upskill you to be a great project manager.

Compelling Presentations

Use presentations to bring experiences to life, compelling clients to support change. Pick up storytelling tools for engaging presentations focused on simplicity and persuasion, not delivery or technical skills.

Courageous Conversations

Courageous conversations build trust, drive change, manage conflicts, and yield valuable insights. Learn to confidently handle difficult discussions, covering confidence, empathy, feedback, and coaching.

Line Management Development

Learn essential leadership skills for effective team management and support. Gain expertise in team building, communication, conflict resolution, decision-making, and ethical leadership. Empower consultants, pave the way for successful projects, foster team growth, and develop your personal style.

Train new inductees

Teaching is the best way to learn! You’ll assist in giving new consultants the first steps of the training that you underwent when you first joined.

Faqs

  • Can I defer my entry and take a break between graduating and starting work?
    Yes – totally. We run a rolling recruitment process, so we take on graduates monthly rather than one large intake once or twice a year. This means your start date is very flexible and can be suited to your needs. We offer our consultants a competitive sign-on bonus, and many of our graduates use this to travel before starting work.
  • What training do you offer?
    We invest in your training and go to extraordinary lengths to help you make the most of your talents. The details of your development will be tailored to your needs and aspirations. But broadly speaking, you can expect a clear development path that starts with a comprehensive induction from the people that do the job, quickly followed by valuable on-the-job learning and training from in-house experts, all supported by an online learning tool. At every promotion level you will be put through a weeklong training course, preparing you for the next stage of your career at Newton.
  • What is progression like at Newton?
    As a fast-growing company, you can expect quick progression. Your salary package will increase every year and with every promotion. Often, your first promotion to senior consultant is within 18-24 months after joining as a graduate. This can vary because promotions are based on merit and subject to hitting milestones, however, you’re never in competition with your colleagues as there’s enough room for progression for everyone.
