Overview of Role

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

3/5

My main responsibilities as a Resourcing Assistant Apprentice are scheduling interviews, drafting offer paperwork, posting on job boards and assisting with any and all administrative tasks within our recruitment team. I also deal with ad-hoc queries and requests from both internal and external parties regarding anything to do with recruitment/processes.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

3/5

I do enjoy my programme. I certainly have days where I struggle and don't enjoy the programme as much as usual, but I appreciate there will be times like that. The work is enjoyable and I really get on with my team, whilst having a great support systems from everyone at AG. I like my apprenticeship work - it's challenging but in a really positive manner.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

I have learnt and developed a lot of technical skills - I feel much more confident with systems I was already familiar with (e.g. Outlook, Excel etc) whilst also feeling confident with completely new systems, like our ATS eArcu. I have learnt an entire new website, it's features and benefits all within the space of 5 months, which I'm super proud of!

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

I think the programme is very well structured - I have a clear, monthly plan of my aims/objectives as well as monthly webinars to enhance my learning. I have a great mentor who is always happy and willing to answer any questions and offer support, as well as my team always supporting me through my studies.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

A lot! My employer and whole team all appreciate my work/study balance, and offer support when and wherever they can. I know I can ask my manager anything, and she will always try to help out or offer a resolution if I was to have an issue. I am very lucky at AG to receive so much support from many people, both within my team and in other teams.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

4/5

Similar to my employer, my training provider is super supportive throughout my studies. We have recurring catch-ups to discuss progress/achievements, and I know I can always drop anyone at Juice a message/an email, and they'll do everything they can to assist or offer support.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

4/5

I think it's really great. I came into this apprenticeship almost immediately after finishing year 13, and I think gaining the hands-on experience as well as a qualification gives me a solid foundation in my introduction to the world of working. I have picked up some solid tips from my apprenticeship as well as my day-to-day work, that I can reflect in the opposite when completing different tasks.

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 all sorts of extra-curricular to get involved with at AG. We have an AG Choir, a 5-a-side team, a cycling group and a Charity Committee, to name a few. Different offices run trips and events to places like York races and different shows/pantos in the area. We have inclusion groups, who celebrate diversity and achievements - for example, our OpenAG network. As well as social events and groups, we also have networking events - just this week, I am attending an agency event for our PSL agents to come along and meet some of the team, whilst finding out more about AG.
