Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I manage a total of 9 people. I manage the day to day operations of the building which covers the soft services and hard services. I also manage the finances on the site with regards to the PO's raised, P&L. I also managed the contractors and contracts all related to my site.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
The best part of the apprenticeship is the workshop and it gets me thinking how i can apply what i've learnt to my current role.

5/5
Very well structured
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
I mean i just get on with my programme, my company gives me a dedicated study day, however it is difficult to always commit due to being the only manager on my account
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
A lot. My coach has gone above and beyond to help me get back on track with my assignment as I have fallen behind due to work commitments
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It makes me think how can I apply what I have learnt in my job 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.)
5/5
there is always an opportunity to connect with other Mitie staff at other sites and in different roles.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Mitie to a friend?
Yes
Why?
For me Mitie have given me opportunities which I haven't had at other jobs/companies. I also like the fact that Mitie have given me opportunities in a role I didn't have experience in but saw my potential.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Mitie?
I would say the right job will come along eventually, even if you don't get the job you want 1st time around.
