You do need to know that we are quite a high-tech company and most of our application process and mandatory learning are online. However, we're glad to support you, if you need help.
To make sure our customers are well supported, it's important that you have worked in a supported environment before. Don't worry, we won't drop you in the deep end, we'll help to you understand how things work at Home Group!
When you join, you'll need to have a valid Enhanced Check under the Disclosure and Barring Service. The great news is that we will pay for that to be done if you don't have a transferrable one.
