Information about employment with Tameside Sports
Trust, including training and career development.
All new staff are given induction training and job specific training upon
commencement with the Trust. This training is designed to ensure that
all staff are familiar with their new work location and job role. Additionally
training will include conditions of employment, health and safety, customer
care and equality and diversity.
As part of our commitment to offering opportunities for development all
staff have an annual appraisal with their manager. At this meeting your
ongoing and future training needs are discussed and planned for the forthcoming
year.
The appraisal process forms the basis of our annual Training Plan and
underpins the principles of "Investors in People".
If promotion does not appeal to you, there are many opportunities to increase
the variety of your work through training in other job roles.
Your entitlement for a full holiday year will be 4.4 weeks plus an allowance
for bank holidays.
Once you have completed 5 years service your entitlement will be 5.4 weeks
plus an allowance for bank holidays.
Casual Workers are entitled
to holidays in line with current legislation.
We are a member of the Greater Manchester Pension Fund. The scheme is
a first class contributory final salary scheme that provides a regular
and advantageous way to save for your retirement.
With effect from 1/4/2008, due
to changes in scheme rules, casual workers and employees on fixed term
contracts of three months or less will be unable to join.
Eligibility to the company sick pay scheme is determined by length of
service, with a maximum entitlement of 2 months full pay and 2 months
half pay after completing 5 years service.
Our staff suggestion scheme encourages staff to contribute to the development
and improvement of our business and our staff award scheme recognises
the contribution of those who have gone beyond what is expected of them.
After 25 years local authority/Tameside Sports Trust service (including
at least 10 years service with Tameside MBC/Tameside Sports Trust) you
will receive a Long Service Award - currently to the value of £275.
Once you have completed 6 months service you are eligible for a staff
pass which entitles you to use our facilities free of charge. There are
conditions attached to the use of facilities and use during peak periods
may not always be possible.
Arrangements can normally be made with your facility manager for use of
specific facilities at your place of work (eg. pool) upon commencement
as it is in our interests and yours to maintain a good standard of health.
We operate a health surveillance programme for staff who work on the pool,
teach swimming or work on plant or maintenance. The programme is designed
to monitor and to improve the health and wellbeing of staff. Assistance
may also be provided to assist staff to give up smoking and improve lifestyle.
We offer a range of initiatives aimed at responding to the needs of our
employees in respect of their personal commitments and circumstances.
Arrangements such as job share, reduced hours and unpaid leave may be
available dependant upon the nature of the job and the needs of the service.
We offer excellent maternity,
paternity and adoption leave.
