Position Summary :    Summary Detailed Information :    Job Description    Person Spec’    Pay & Benefits    Selection Process    Induction & Training

The precise format of our induction training will vary dependant upon many factors such as geography, timing, availability of trade examinations (where applicable), availability of company resources and, not least, the particular strengths and weaknesses of the individual candidate. Below, however, follows a fairly typical template.

Initial Induction & Training

There will be a relatively brief and informal period of induction giving an overview of the Company, the employee’s peers, line-management, health & safety, etc. Additional introductions will also be made to office staff and other business activities dependant upon location. This training may take place at various locations across Great Britain, although some will typically take place near the employee’s own territory.

The nature of this role is that employees will be largely ready-to-go from the outset. With this in mind, by no later than the second week, in-the-field accompanied work will begin. During this two-week or so period, the employee will start by spending time accompanied by a manager. As time goes on, the employee will increasingly spend days unaccompanied with this becoming the norm by the end of that time.

At the end of this period, initial training will be largely complete and the employee will be expected to be a productive self-managing member of staff. Needless to say, however, we always provide a layer of support and are always on hand during any period of employment, including in these early stages.

Of course, careful mentoring and management will be provided throughout the employment.

During the first few months, the Company will review progress, ascertain the employee’s various particular strengths and seek to improve on any areas in need of development. The role will be tailored accordingly.

Additionally, after this time, the Company will also conduct a careful review of the employee’s trade specific training, certification and qualifications. Consideration at that time will be given as to any further appropriate qualification that may be required or are deemed desirable. This will depend up on the needs of the Company and the strengths of the employee.

Beyond This

Training is of course ongoing and, depending upon the training, certification and qualifications deemed appropriate, there may be additional requirements to sit refresher courses and examinations periodically.

Further training and examination requirements may develop as the trade, the Group and its staff all develop.
