Internal Candidates (post Company probation)

On the basis that your probationary period has been completed, you will be provided with the appropriate training and support on the MIT programme. However, if your performance is not deemed to be to the required standard, any performance issues will be addressed via a performance management route and through the Company disciplinary procedures.

If the individual fails to achieve Level 3, the individual will revert to their previous position prior to the MIT programme but this may not necessarily be within the same premises where previously located, although relocation would be within a reasonable distance. If the individual was an external applicant, the Company will review the option of a relocation to another position within the Company which may include loss of seniority and / or pay, or ultimately release from the organisation. In relation to the appointment to the post of Manager, and if the MIT has already attained WSET Level 3 Award, they will automatically be offered a permanent manager post.
