yes LTSB have a work coach that keeps in the loop and up to date on all of us who is great, our Team leader doesn't help as much just helps us key time off and lets us get on with it.

yes definitely helps to perform better as it gradually eases you in to the role making it a comforting process where you feel like you know what your doing when you get started so definitely helps with nerves.

4/5
there is charity evenings hosted by teams regularly which every team gets invited to, they also host quiz nights every few months for charity but no sport teams or team bonding activities.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend NatWest Group to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I already have done my friend is starting on the next LTSB apprenticeship grad bay in 4 days time after being successful in the boot camp and interview process. Just feel like this role is an excellent opportunity and I wanted to help my best friend out.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to NatWest Group?
Take the boot camp and grad bay seriously as it does help so much with the interview process and the easing in to the role itself. Be yourself as well and show your willing to go the extra mile
