In the weeks before your start date, you may receive information about your local induction plan and, if applicable, your adaptation period.
The local induction plan may, for example give you details of your start date, where to go, what to wear, who you are meeting and what to expect. It may have a copy of your timetable and the shift times, as well as what department you will be working in.
It may also provide information about the locality, such as transport links and nearby places to eat.
You may get a chance to meet some of your managers and new team via a virtual meet-up.
This can be a nice, informal way of meeting your new manager and some others who are joining at the same time.
It is a good opportunity to ask questions or make yourself familiar with the team. It can help relieve some of the nerves of that first day.
If you have any questions about your role or what you need to do to prepare, you can reach out to your point of contact that should be provided by your service manager.
This may be a telephone number or an email address but don’t hesitate to reach out with any queries. They are there to make sure you are happy and prepared for your start date.
