Yes you have to give them everything and it is very very intrusive

All in all it takes a month to officially start work at gather & gather. This is how long it took to open a new site, it may take a shorter time if the site is already established.DBS check and training. Plus you might have to set up if opening a new site. All training is paid, mileage paid. Training is laughable though. I worked for this company for 6 months, best thing I ever did was leaving. Management have a bulling nature, plus every few years they have a staff shake up where they try and get rid of people who are not up to scratch and make good staff reapply for their jobs. I have witnessed this first hand as a relief chef who had worked for the company for 20 years had to do this.
