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

Providing Administrative support to the Team and representing the team/department within the Home Office.
Learning and developing skills within the Home Office to support further duties, that will provide experience towards my career development.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
The program is focused on me. It is not just about my working environment but it is about helping me to develop, especially by providing support where and whenever needed

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
There is always scope to learn. I am learning to improve my Time Management and Organisational Skills. I am also learning to focus and build confidence, especially when facing challenges and stakeholders.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
At present, it needed and has been improving. It started of bumpy for the first 3 months but now a structure is taking place. I am adamant that I will succeed in the best of ways, with the support that I am getting now
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Employer is a general question. If asking about my team, then i will say 110%. If within the HomeOffice, this is beginning to improve
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
The training provider is open to helping.. I am aware that they have a number of candidates to work with at one time, and therefore will go out of there way to provide support where possible.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Unsure about this as we are at early stage. But Time Management and Organisational skills have and will help me better myself within my role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
Not as yet

Would you recommend Home Office to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Because the support that I am getting directly and the future I can see myself building in best of ways, is worth it.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Home Office?
Try and choose the course that you are interesting in, as it does make it difficult to find your footing, just for the sake of it.
