Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My Role when I started this programme was a Domestic Team Leader. My role was to ensure the leadership and direction of our services with the domestic work, like health & safety, responible for having a team that adhered to the functional risks of the medical centres. No service failure. I used HR sysytems for colleagues and working schedules. supplies ordering and team/ 1:1 colleague meetings. These are so of many more duties. I then was uplifted as leadind team lead and now recieved a promotion as a Estates Coordinator.

My new skills have allowed me to be more confident in risks. I have embraced feedback and worked on my flaws. I can now understand, communicate and lead colleagues, patients and customers with a knowledgable confident work ethic. More so that this programme allowed me 2 promotions in a year.
