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

On a day to day basis, we have a DSUM which talks about wellness and how you are feeling, then talks about the workload that is on at the minute. Just carry on with any work that is on at the minute or know that is coming, we could have meetings through out the day, the rest of the day just carrying on with the workload we have.
