As a Team leader my job day to day can be varied. This is from providing customer service and answering customer queries, to answering duty calls. A main part of my job role is to work alongside my team by guiding and supporting to complete everyday tasks. I have also been recently trained as a fire champion

I found the apprenticeship to be well organised, as the programme is set up to feel like it doesn't overwhelm you, which I fought it might have as I work fulltime and also have out of work commitments.

I have received lots of support from my employer, from shadowing them to learn and develop skills as well as being allocated time to be able to complete my apprenticeship away from the shop floor.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Always fast to respond to any help or support I need. As well providing positive feedback on any work I have submitted.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
My apprenticeship has given me lots of confidence and knowledge to help me perform any tasks at work to the best of my ability. It also gave me the insight to use my own initiative to come up with ideas to help.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
