How long is a royal mail trial period new starter

According to Royal Mail's official website, the length of the trial period for new starters can vary depending on the role and the location.

For most roles, the trial period is typically 12 weeks, which is also known as the "probationary period". During this time, new starters are expected to complete a range of tasks and training to ensure they have the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their job effectively.

However, some roles may have a shorter or longer trial period. For example:

• For some operational roles, the trial period may be 6 weeks.
• For some management or supervisory roles, the trial period may be 18 weeks or longer.

It's also worth noting that the trial period is not a fixed period, and it can be extended or shortened depending on individual circumstances. Royal Mail may also have a "probationary review" meeting with the new starter during the trial period to discuss their progress and provide feedback.

It's always best to check with your HR representative or supervisor for specific details on the trial period for your role and location.
