i help newer member of staff in pointing them in right direction . im better at my red crier training and i feel iv gained alot more confidence not just in the work place but also outside , i have a great team and they help me when im researching and point out stuff that i didnt think was a thing but turns out small tasks can go towards the research
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
no but wee get to take customers out for trips we do staff parties xmas birthdays and any staff leaving partys . we all are very close and its like being part of a family so we can talk about our problems and not feel overwhelmed or stresssed at work and work better for it
