Hey guys I just thought I’d make this post for everyone who’s starting the Work Coach role. My start date is March 1st and I’ve been told there’ll be 7 weeks of training 
It would be interesting to discuss each other’s experiences regarding training, dress code etc

Hi all I start on Monday in the Hampshire area.
I've been told one week in the office doing an induction - potentially only 3 to 4 days before going home. 6 weeks online training 9:30 to 4:30pm at home. 2 weeks training back in the office and then a choice of work from home, office-based or a mixture from then (dependent on Covid).
I'm in a virtual hub so no face-to-face interaction with claimants. Is that the same for everyone else?
Good luck to everyone. I'm excited to get started now.

When received the phone call from my manager in the week about starting was advised the first day I start at 10am it will be an induction, then I will get equipment take it home to test and then will go from there but I was advised that it’s 6 weeks training after 6 weeks, I will do one Saturday a month but get a day off in the week

Oh I see, the number just rings through. I'm reluctant to hand in my notice until I have it in writing.
