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

Overall it is well structured, however, there are some discrepancies surrounding policies and procedures between different sectors, so it can get confusing

Cumbria are good at supporting people in gaining their qualifications and listen to feedback, however, it is harder to gain support when you don't have an official diagnosis
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I learn new skills at University and these become transferable to my placement, often my manager aligns the modules in University to the work I am given on placement

I am involved in the STEM ambassadors programme and a part of the Inspiring Women's Network
