Meet the Team
The APTCOO team represents education, health and care, private and voluntary sector. Our investment in training and development is exemplary. Each year we support staff and volunteers within heir chosen fields of work to develop their skills, qualifications and areas of personal development. We work together with local colleges and universities providing high quality placements.
Our environment lends itself to research and development, this is recognised and rewarded with qualified therapists spending time with APTCOO to carry out their University placement. Their experience, findings and recommendations for change are transferred into high quality reports shared with the Board and contributing to the future design, business planning of APTCOO.

Workforce Planning
We are committed to supporting, enabling and celebrating volunteering in all its diversity. APTCOO volunteers include people from all walks of life. We have an established and growing team of volunteers including parents, carers, students, professionals and willing members of the community. We recognise the value that volunteers bring to our services and also to the individuals themselves. Over 50% of the APTCOO workforce started off as volunteers, we support through a comprehensive training, coaching and mentoring programme.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
We take our roles and responsibilities seriously in respect of equality, diversity and inclusion. We also believe that we should use our wider influence as a local partner to secure outcomes for some of the marginalised members of our local communities.
