Paralegal Apprentice Review

My role consists of looking at contracts for our procurement team to ensure that all necessary clauses and terms are covered, this is to minimise risk for the company. My day-to-day can vary from external calls to having weekly team meetings with each of our subject categories. No day is ever the same for me.

From a work perspective there is a clear structure and is well organised. From a university perspective there a few minor issues. These include: the hub where we access materials going down a few times and also as it is online sometimes the feedback can come across vague but apart from that it is quite well organised.

I have a weekly catch up with my manager where we discuss tasks that need doing for the week. We also discuss what went well and what needs improving from the last week. I find these really useful to ensure i am on track and i know exactly what i need to be doing for the week.

From a training provider aspect, there isn't a lot of support available. There are occasionally support sessions put on but not very often. As it is an online course a lot of the materials you are expected to do by yourself and in your own time. So when issues arise it is difficult.

I don't think all of the topics help me within my role but this is because i work in a niche department. Some of the topics are not useful for this role but they are important to learn for the future and for my legal knowledge moving forward in my legal career.

I have never had any issues working with Experian. They support me as an individual and is generally a great place to work. They provide support wherever needed and anything else i need such as a new desk and chair. the flexibility of working is amazing and allows you to work at your best ability.
