Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I am 1 of 2 systems experts for the Trust and I primarily assist with the day to day running of our Trust's Learning Management System, MyLearning. I have only however just started this role.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I have thoroughly enjoyed completing my apprenticeship, I like developing professionally and once complete it will help open several doors for me within the industry.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, several, I'm learning something new everyday. I'm currently developing my System management skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I have completed 2 apprenticeships with Paragon and have found both incredibly organised and well-planned. The support has been second to none. I have been given adequate time to study and both of my tutors have been so encouraging.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer/manager has been incredible throughout my apprenticeship. She has always given me the time I need and has been so accommodating with my study.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I have received nothing but support from my tutors. Whenever I've had questions they have been so insightful, and guided me through my problems. I have enjoyed catching up with them during the tutorial sessions too.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The qualification has helped in terms of thinking for myself more. I feel my qualification has helped me see what I can achieve and how much I actually have learned since starting my role. I have stopped questioning myself as much.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend NHS to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I've found my work family, they have always been supportive, and I would consider them good friends. There is a career path for everyone here, I am so pleased I applied as an apprentice 4 years ago, I don't know what else I'd be doing now.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to NHS?
It can be a lengthy application process at times, but it's worth it. They are people-focused and will always look out for it's employees and service users.
