Induction
All new staff members must complete an induction process before beginning their new role. This consists of a Corporate Induction on Monday and then further role specific face-to-face mandatory training for the rest of the week.
Please Note: Induction arrangements are subject to change so that we can make sure you and others are able to stay safe during uncertain times. We will keep you up to date, and please check in with your line manager if you are unsure about any induction arrangements
Before your Induction
Induction is held every two weeks and your induction date is arranged by your line manager who will let you know via email or letter. If you have any access or support needs that we can assist with, please let your line manager know before your induction date so we can make sure this is in place.
Before Induction, you will receive an occupational health form. Please complete and return this form to the Occupational Health Team before your Induction date. This allows the team to make sure they can discuss with you any health related needs and work related vaccinations before you start at your work base. If you need to contact Occupational Health, please contact (01387) 244626.
