Rural duty no training

[Clarky3232]

Thanks a lot for the replies everyone, some really good tips on here.

Absolute joke. Think I got 3-4 days training on my first rural. Even then after that it’s hard to remember everywhere until you do it yourself for a few weeks.

You need at least ask someone to draw you a map of the obscure delivery points

Surely this is the work place coach's job to have a map prepared, after all they are paid £35 a week, every week, even if there is no one to train!

How did you get on today Clarky? Which tips worked best for you?

And what about things like making sure the list of hazards on the walk is updated, checking the Route Planner data (what used to be known as A+) is correct, making sure the list of any door entry codes, list of door entry keys, etc is kept up to date

The role of a workplace coach is to provide coaching not to explain how to do every single duty.
And it is closer to £40.

Too right. About time they got rid of these workplace coaches if they are unable to provide coaching.

The number of times I get asked by posties how to do a certain round, I often stop and ask myself "I'm not a workplace coach, why should I bother?"

The last 3 groups of inductees in our depot have been hired just as our two workplace coaches have disappeared to another depot for a month, or just gone on holiday.

It's almost like RM don't plan ahead

If you're asked to train someone on a duty should you get training allowance? Or is that not a thing anymore?
