Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Level 2 of the apprenticeship involves coming in and stacking shelves, running tills and communicating with customers. It also involves the odd “management” job such as taking in the offsales. No day is ever the same which makes each shift exciting.

The programme is very enjoyable as its very flexible in term of a work life/social life balance. Great team to work alongside with and work is always interesting.

My customer service skills have improved. Time keeping and also being able to come in for a shift at 5am.

I get a further understanding through my course for what i need to achieve on the shop floor. From techniques to use when serving customers to the best methods to stack shelves.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
