Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I am responsible for ensuring the responsible sourcing of legally compliant products that are safe and good value for customers.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoyed the workshops and the team that I was learning with but the pressure of extra work on top of my day-to-day role became concerning at times but this did help me to priortise
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Both.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
At the start it was confusing. We went through three versions of the learning logs, two tutors and a change of venue but once it settled down it was excellent.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
Wickes allows you the freedom to work at your own pace and when you ask for help, it's always available but is not proactively given.

3/5
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It's helped me to understand why people (including myself) behave the way that they do which will make me a better manager.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
There's a huge range of activities in Wickes and most revolve around inclusivity, charity and diversity which I really enjoy.
