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

I work within a team and support them with daily adhoc tasks in order to support their work. I send out communications, reset passwords, monitor the stationary cupboard, create stationary orders, help to update the teams website, check documents for spelling, punctuation, grammar, book meeting rooms and any other administrative tasks that may come up.

5/5

The daily tasks I carry out are tailored to my apprenticeship. I have objectives set at the start of each placement to work towards, there are also linked to my apprenticeship.
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
Lots of opportunities - support open days, support interviews, going into schools to support delivering sessions, work within the community and so much more.
