Training
To ensure everybody understands the way we work and what is expected of you we are developing a structured training scheme, this handbook being the first level. By reading this document you will learn the basic dos and don’ts and also provides you with some important information. Each level of the training scheme concentrates on developing your skills in a specific area, such as customer service. Your progress will be assessed when you complete each stage. Your eligibility to move on to the next stage of the scheme will be partially based on your day to day performance.
Some training will be given to you verbally whilst you are working. We may also require you to attend an external training course away from the shop.
Flexibility
From time to time you may be asked to cover a shift at short notice. This can sometimes be inconvenient if you already have plans but as we have only a small team it is important that everybody helps out wherever possible. We will try to get cover elsewhere if you have plans but if there is no other option you will be expected to work.
We try to offer flexibility back allowing you to swap shifts, the shift manager due to work the shift in question must be consulted.
If you don’t help to cover people when they need a shift off they cannot be expected to help you out if you need it. Helping out is not about doing the shifts you don’t mind doing it is about putting your self out on occasion and working a shift that you may find inconvenient.
