Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I work frequently in different groups of people who complete different daily roles. I also work closely with other Health and Safety Advisors.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I highly enjoy my programme, I have learnt so many new things and know I will continue to develop.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learnt so many new skills and also improved the existing ones I already possessed. The main three skills I have developed are time management skills, communication skills and confidence skills.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Very well structured in the sense of my college course linking to my daily job role. However, I am on 6 monthly placements and would prefer to know where I am going next instead of it being last minute.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
A huge amount of support that has been consistent from the start.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Again a huge amount of consistent support.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I feel my qualification helps me preform a great deal better in my role as I am gaining all the relevant knowledge that I need on a day to day basis.
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
Yes, I take part frequently in social value opportunities and I am also on a Reverse Mentoring programme. I also attend coffee mornings, which are less professional and more relaxed.
