New Starters

Welcome to the Family Wise family!

Congratulations on joining the FWL team, you will be sent all your new starter documents prior to you starting.

So What Next?

Shortly after your start date, you will be added to our HR System called BrightHR. This is a self-service system. To start you will be sent an email to your work email address with a link to click and begin your experience by setting up your login and password.

Each person has their own personal log in, provided shortly after they start.

FWL does provide a staff pension scheme, administered by “Nest Pensions” as required by the government.

You are eligible/you are not eligible to be auto enrolled onto the scheme (however, you can choose to opt into the scheme should you wish to contribute into the pension). More details will be provided when you start. Again, you will be sent a welcome email by Nest to set up your password to access your online account.

You will be added to the rota, through Google Drive, allowing you to have access to this remotely. We ask that you complete the rota with your available hours or any approved absences on a weekly basis as far in advance as possible but no later than lunch time on Friday of the week before. In order for you to gain access to this document, please send Kirsty a Gmail email address. Kirsty will then let you know when she has given you access. You can then view the rota and update it with your availability.

Please note that this is an essential resource for the team to understand who is available on any given day. The rota is printed and distributed on a Friday evening in preparation for the following week.

You will also be added to several Facebook chats related to your role to assist with team communication throughout the working day.

As well as the “Family Wise Ltd” Facebook group… this is a secret/closed group where updates and important announcements are posted regularly, including the bi-weekly staff briefing.

Please set up a Facebook account for business use. Once you have chosen your preferred profile, please friend Kirsty Gray www.facebook.com/the.kirsty.gray and we will start setting you up.

Any questions, drop Kirsty a line.
