Your Induction

​We are here to support you from day one, and that is why we ask all new colleagues to join one of our Regional Induction programmes carried out by our friendly team of Selco Trainers. These induction programmes may not be held in the place where you will work, but don't worry as we will cover all of the costs for your travel and food. Depending upon your role the inductions can last from 1 day, right through to 1 week - all aimed at giving you the best start in your new role!

During your induction you will meet other colleagues that are starting their new journey's with Selco so it will give you chance to meet some new friends right from day 1. The Trainer will also go through some key topics with you including Health & Safety, Customer Service and all of the useful information you need to know when starting to work for a new business like when we get paid, and how you access all of the great benefits available to you as a Selco colleague.

YOUR BENEFITS
