Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I am a shared resource between the Admin and EHS departments. I do about 80% work with the health and safety team including basic management of the EHS reporting system, audit support, communications and other duties as required. In Admin I spend time on the Switchboard desk answering phone calls and directing visitors.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I am enjoying it although the first few months I struggled as I needed more challenging work. That has now changed and I Feel much more productive and happy.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
It has been good for my to brush up on rusty skills as well as learn new ones.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The college course is good. I think the structure in the Admin department needs some work as I Felt like a third wheel a lot at first. Since my new manager in EHS has started though I have been given a great framework to work in, with regular updates and check ins.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I feel well supported.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
I have been left to get on with things a lot. Partly because I am an older student with other qualifications, but it would be nice to have a better system.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It gives me formal business admin but for my role in EHS it is not directly applicable.
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
Yes lots of team wellbeing events
