Hi. I've asked my manager several times to be told I'll find out far too often. Is there anyone here who can tell me where and when the workplace coach courses are?

Ours are held at the mail centre which is about a 90mile round trip from the DO!!
It took about 18 months though for one to be arranged after a successful interview so don't hold your breath. Big changes afoot also as I heard from our DOM that they want to get rid of line managers/ deputy DOM's and use the workplace coaches instead!!!

Lineos jobs will be taken by Team Leaders who are actually FT Posties who are nominally in charge of 6 walks and they have to staff them and ensure the duties are completed as per regulations. They will obviously get a higher wage but not as high as Lineos get at the moment.

I don't agree with this scenario, in fact I think its divisive and impractical but then thats never been a hindrance
