Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Interacting with clients and other external professionals as well as colleagues at varying levels to decide upon next steps and the roles of each professional within the project. Understanding the needs of the client and consistently communicating with them and colleagues. Responsibility varies depending upon willingness and ability therefore suited to each individual.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Yes continually developed my maths and English as well as learning how to inspect different types of buildings, value them and manage them.

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Very well, there is consistent communication and always someone to reach out to if necessary.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
A lot, there is support from the specific Graduate team but also mentors within the office and older colleagues that have gone through the same process.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
A lot always there if I need them but also have regular catch ups.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Good, but some of what is taught is not reflective of the role in practice.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Yes lots! Lots of opportunities for sport and networking events.
