My role is customer service assistant but I now have more responsibilities due to the apprenticeship. I now help with banking, health and safety more and help support the managers more often. My general role is helping customers day to day.

Definitely I feel like this apprenticeship has really helped me understand my role and the branch. It has helped me to perform my role better as I have been given opportunities that other employees haven’t got,
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
