Getting started

A new job can be exciting and daunting: we’ve all been there. That’s why we take care to welcome you and help you settle in so that your first few weeks are a success. For example, you’ll:

  • Take part in an induction programme from your very first day. It’s organised by your line manager and includes regular one-to-one meetings to set clear objectives and review your progress. The programme is also a good opportunity to meet other staff with specialist knowledge across the company.
  • Be appointed a ‘peer support’ who will answer your questions and introduce you to the informal side of life at First Rate.
  • Receive online training in anti-money laundering (critical in our business) and in First Rate’s products and services.
  • Be invited to ‘First Rate Live’ a special course run by senior managers that will give you and other new employees a more in-depth background to the company and what you’ll get from working with us.
