To help your onboarding go smoothly, it’s essential that internal applicants:

Use their  email address in their TRAC profile

Ensure your application is marked to show that you are a current CNWL staff member

Applications using personal email addresses (e.g. Gmail or Yahoo) will not be recognised, and the process simply won’t work. There is also a charge to change new starter personal email addresses to their  email address.

Before you apply:

Log into TRAC and update your email to your  address

Check your application details and make sure you are identified as an internal applicant

This small step helps avoid major problems later.

Our catchment area spans diverse communities, with over 100 first languages spoken. It contains areas of great affluence as well as areas of much deprivation. We are committed to providing services that meet the needs of the people who use them, and we actively encourage involvement from local people who can help make a difference.

We offer a generous relocation package (subject to eligibility assessment) and flexible working options, including bank assignments for most roles. For more information on these and other benefits of working for us, see our Benefits, Reward and Wellbeing page.
