Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

I work with my team to provide reports and valuations of hotel buildings. The reports are required for a range of purposes such as bank loan security, year end accounts, internal management or more.I often go on inspections to see the hotels we're valuing, recently I went to Amsterdam for an inspection.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I think my work programme and university programme are both incredible. Savills especially makes sure you get to know everyone in you team and are included in lots of external events so you're growing your network from day one. One of the best parts of the programme is the other people you meet.

I have learnt how to communicate with clients; I developed my skills in excel; I know how to analyse a P&L statement accurate and efficiently; my maths and English skills have developed

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

You have to be independent to an extent, but i fyou have a good line manager they will help. Furthermore, if you're confused about something, HR and apprenticeship outcomes officer's are very helpful and always make sure to keep a good line of communication with you.

I made sure to choose the relevant courses for my work, so I find ti very helpful in my development, and it really improves my performance at work.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

4/5

Lots of professional networking events, sports teams, social activities and more. One I like most is each week we have a team workout at a different nearby gym class.
