Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

payroll, POs, archive, HR documents, petty cash reconciliation, recruitment, inducting staff, conductin interviews, issuing letter, being in contact with external and internal stakeholders, managing orders, providing reports and running projects, taking minuts and organising meetins.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I did enjoy it because it was easy for me to complete, but I did not learn much.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
2/5
learnt and developed

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
It was structured - like meetings were booked in advanced every month. But organised - what I was lacking is to be taught by someone, to be prepared by someone for the knowledge test. That never happened, and all the learning materials I found online, as the tutor did not have any materials.
Also, worth mentioning, the whole process of working on two projects, preparing statement etc was not explained to me in advance, it was done ad hoc, like the tutor would tell me month before end that I need to do this and this additionally. This caused my anxiety to spike. I would rather been told before the plan, so I can prepare.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
1/5
None
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
Apart from positive words and encouragement - support was none.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
Not at all. As I said, I did learn all by myself, but it was just to pass the knowledge test, so this knowledge will dissapear in few weeks. Which is a shame because I would have loved to be taught or given materials to read through about all the business styles of planning etc.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
no
