    Been offered and due to start training 7th November. Does anyone know if we get paid for training?


    Also if people know, apparently the shift depends on where ya are, and apparently you get told just before training which is a bit unfair because of notice periods etc incase it don't suit . Anyone know what the shifts are like at cloverhill or Wheatfield?

    As far as I remember, I think you are paid for trining. I'd shoot HR a email just to be sure though.

    My shift was originally Monday - Friday 8 - 5 with one 4 pm finish. Now it seems quite random. Since starting reserve with a 7 pm finish/ The other four days varies between 4, 4:30 and 5 pm finishes. I always start at 8 am. You also get 20 min grace before your finish changing etc.

    I was given the same notice regarding the prison. In the end, I spoke to my manager and they accommodated my request for a shorter notice period.
