Hi all, I'm after some info please can any one tell me what the responsibility of a work place coach is, the reason I'm asking is I have a new starter to train on a round in a few weeks, I thought the work place coaches should do this, I don't mind training them but I understand they get a weekly payment for training and as I don't I thought they should be doing this and not me. Thanks.

This is taken from the 2014 Work place coach agreement.

3.4 On the Job Training

“On the job” training will take place during Days 2–4 at the employee’s workplace and will be led by the Workplace Coach. The approach is activity based, supported by coaching lessons and will progress at a pace that is in line with the individuals needs therefore it may continue into week 2. The 3 days are intended to build up job specific core skills by demonstration and through shadowing the Coach (or when unavailable by another experienced member of staff who would be eligible for the non-school postal training allowance in line with normal rules) on the delivery that the New Entrant will be due to perform.
