Questions

Who organises my accommodation?

Temporary accommodation will be arranged for one month until you find permanent accommodation of your own.

Can I travel home during my placement and is it funded?

We will find two return trips per placement to your home country, and this will be fully funded by the company.

Will I get a home allowance?

A ‘settling in allowance’ will be paid to fund initial expenses associated with setting up your accommodation (for example you might need a bed).

Is there specific paperwork I need to be mindful of, if doing an international placement?

Yes, we’ll help you with tasks such as tax submissions and general paperwork. We work with a global mobility provider who will support with all paperwork and admin requirements.

How often will my performance be monitored?

You’ll have regular, monthly performance reviews and check ins.

What should I do I have any concerns?

If you have any immediate concerns regarding your wellbeing or the programme, these should be raised to your HR contact. We recognise for some that this could be the first time moving away from home, so it may take a while to settle in a feel confident.
