Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I work with the Home Office of the Civil Service and we deal with issues relating to immigration crime. Daily we will work on stopping illegal immigration, tackling illegal working and those who are in the country with no legal right to remain. I am currently working on two projects, one working with a external stakeholder relating to translation contract.

4/5
Lost of support from my employer, I am given plenty of time to complete the work necessary for the course
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

Lots, they are always available at the end of an email if needed and will make lots of time to fit in catch up throughout if needed.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I think all further learning helps in, not only our day to day role, but in general - There is always something else to learn!
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes, there are lots of clubs, days out and activities set up directly through the Civil Service and also through the Civil Service social clubs
