Welcome

It is Trust policy for all new members of staff to attend a corporate welcome upon starting employment, both as an introduction to the Trust's vision and values and as the first stage of their personal development plan.

This reflects our commitment to delivering compassionate excellence and ensuring that all staff are competent in relation to their statutory and mandatory competence requirements.

Temporary staff

Temporary staff (including agency staff, volunteers and students working in the Trust) receive an induction through their own organisation in line with the Trust requirements and need to complete a Temporary Staff Checklist which is kept by their line manager and must be produced if requested.
