Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I look after a large allocation of clients, and completing their tax return, and general tax compliance
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy the work aspect some of the apprenticeship admin can be tedious as well as the external Mercia training. I would enjoy it more time if I had more time to learn.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
I have learnt many new skills and have found learning off my colleagues to be a valuable experience.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Somewhat organised but could definetly be improved.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
Limited support you are mainly expected to just get on with it on top of your workload.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
The training provider does not give the actual training for exams this is done through Tolley. The training provider just has catch up and makes you fill in a learning log.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
I would be just as well-off learning everything on the job as I find this much more useful than external training.
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 have played a couple of football matches and a cricket match. There are also plenty of other activities to get involved in.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend S&W to a friend?
Yes
Why?
There are good and bad parts of working for a corporate company but I find the actual office I work in full of decent down to earth people.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to S&W?
Be yourself and don't let the barriers such as what qualifications you have stop you applying if you think you will be suited to the role.
