New starter checklist
When you join a new company, day one is exciting but can also be quite daunting.
We have your first day fully planned out to make it as enjoyable as possible. You’ll be connected to your manager, your team buddy and the rest of your team.
Once all day-one activities have been completed you will have a review with your line manager. These reviews will happen on a regular basis, so if you do have any feedback or suggestions on how we improve our onboarding please let us know.
After you have met you line manager the following activities will happen:
1. We’ll take a copy of your passport and any outstanding documents, and these will be passed to a member of our People Team.
