Southeastern starting salary

Did you let them know in your interview if you had any holiday dates as they will often try and accommodate any pre booked holiday ?

There are many variables here and it will depend at what stage of the process you are in when you need the holiday. Once you start, you should be able to get a projected date for passing out (yes also very variable) but you can get a good insight depending on which depot you are at.

Your best option will be to speak to your DM when you start and ask what the holiday situation is. I believe SE will send your DM's name to you when you get your job offer.

I didn’t let them know in the interview as I wasn’t aware it was happening at the time of the interview unfortunately. I’ll be based at Ramsgate. Okay brilliant thank you I’ll get in touch with them once it comes through

Hi mate I’ve got my start date for April. Still waiting for the contract to come through. I know there’s no holiday for the first couple of months. My family are wanting to go away for 7 nights next February (a years time) do you know if that’s possible after seeing the contract and having started, or is it no holiday until qualified. Just wondering as holiday accommodation needs to be booked well in advance and need to know whether or not I can. Any insight appreciated. Cheers!

Hi mate! Yeah you should be absolutely fine with that, they don’t expect you to go a year without holiday don’t worry . I’m in a similar position myself as I have a cruise booked for June, so only 6 months into my employment, it’s already been given the ok so as long as you let them know early.

It’s only the first 3-4 months you can’t take leave as that’ll be your rules and traction training which is very intensive and trust me when I say, you don’t want to miss a day of it.

Hope this helps!

Brilliant, cheers for that. Best of luck with the course and I’m sure you’ll enjoy that cruise after getting through the classroom load!
