Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I manage a team of 13 recruitment consultants to provide temp staffing for the NHS, monitoring performance and meeting key objectives and targets
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I have found it challenging at times but really enjoyed working with my Tutor to achieve this qualification

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt more self awareness, many different management tools available to enable me to support my team better

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It is fantastic. Bud is used to track all activity and communicate with my tutor. Everything is in one place. One thing i would improve is being able to upload evidence as you go and being able to come back to add more. At the moment you have to upload everything all at once.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
It has been a challenging time for our company with the pandemic and it is hard for me to get evidence completed by my line manager as she is so busy I hav ebeen unable to take time out of my work day to complete my apprenticeship and done everything in my own time
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
[This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the Higherin Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] from Paragon is fantastic. She is responsive when i have questions and i always felt supported and able to anything i needed
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It enables me to be a more efficient and effective manager for my team. It has grown my knowledge and skills and provided me with opportunities to learn more about areas i would not usually cover in my role, such as budgeting and project management
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
Nothing
