Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I draft and submit complex HMLR applications as well as SDLT returns
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I love my program - I am really happy here

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt many new skills, I received extensive training in my area and as a consequence have refined my comprehension skills and my attention to detail

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
I would have benefitted from more structure, with regards to training, in the beginning but that was resolved pretty quickly and since then I have been more than satisfied with how the program operates
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive a lot of support from my employer, both through the early talent team and my manager.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I have had alot of support from my skills coach at uni, specifically. When I have required more than the standard level of engagement that has been fulfilled - no questions asked.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
At the moment, not hugely, but it is definitely interesting context and will help me with progression if I wish to go further than the paralegal profession
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 socials and lots of networking events - of a wide variety too. Go karting, pilates and just social drinks.
