Overview of Role

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

4/5

to plan resource and report on live and training numbers vs target for self employed drivers. I also manage a team of 4 advisors and their workloads plus regular 121s, call evaluations and team meetings

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I really enjoy this programme. I've never been academic and have always struggled with things like this. However, this is really pushing me and I can see the changes in myself and my confidence. I enjoy writing my case studies and find the cohort classes really engaging.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

3/5

Yes, I've learnt more about leadership style, as well as my teams individual learning and communication styles. I've been able to implement and try out new things on the team too from what i've learnt in my course or what others on my course do with their team

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

3/5

I would say that it is pretty well organised/structured. I understand what i have to do and the deadlines. There is an element of flexibility as well as sometimes my work schedule doesn't allow for hours of course time some weeks.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

I receive a lot of support from my manager and leadership team. I'm able to ask anyone for support or guidance and a number of people have helped me with case studies when i don't have access to certain information or experience with a particular area.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

3/5

I receive support from my tutor during our monthly catch up's and i know i can ring/email her at any time.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

4/5

This has helped me perform much better in my role. I'm pushed out of my comfort zone but in a good way. It's giving me so many skills and making me a better person in general

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

I'm part of the engagement team, which is a small group of people in different departments and we organise various activities throughout the year for people to get involved with
