Training mentors

Training Mentors play a crucial role in our business as they support you through your first few months with the company. Your Training Mentor will be a Deputy Store Manager (DSM) and will welcome you into the team, provide basic training, and will be on hand to provide useful advice. Training Mentors are there to help you feel comfortable and supported during your first few months with us. Sometimes you may not want to ask your line manager every question and may want a peer to give you advice or help with a work-related issue. Training Mentors are often the experts when it comes to certain tasks and if their job role is similar to yours then they are best placed to offer hints and tips.
