Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
paralegal within residential conveyancing - taking part in pre-completion and post-completion work. currently working alongside the client and developer solicitors to register shared ownership houses.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5

Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
very well structured, the process of shifting roles was smooth and my study programme was structured from the beginning
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
incredible support, particularly from my manager and early talent team - in times of illness or bereavement, i have been supported to prioritise my physical and mental health. in day-to-day work, my support system within work is always available.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
i have meetings every 6 weeks with my skills coach and a small catch up in-between. the study is structured and clear, it is self-guided and independent. i think the fact that all students work and study differently needs to be considered as the programme is almost too structured.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
the study to achieve the qualification is applicable to different roles within our workplace, the real estate module is the closest to my role now - learning about the legal process of residential conveyancing.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
there are always volunteering events for different causes and activities such as gym, pilates and football. we have social events approximately every 3 months.
