4/5
Me personally, i think that Bridge Creative is well organised and is structured pretty well, and why yes, there have been some mishaps here and there, it always gets sorted very quickly. They have a structured list of Clients and Employees so there's little to no confusion at all.

Whilst working for Bridge Creative, I have received dedicated in-work support during every shift from my employer, they are very kind, understanding of my learning difficulties and Autism, and fun to chat with. The employees are great as well, very kind, very helpful, also understanding of me, and they give me great opportunities.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I feel like the training (specifically my customer service training) has been really good, I use it every day when talking to people, both socially and professionally. It has made me understand people better when talking to them, it's also made me think more how I talk to people.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

I get involved with a lot of extra-curricular activities at work, it's mainly social activities that I help work on, such as; events, education (like delivering courses about specific subjects), and I help out with social events like giving out prices, organising on making and delivering quizzes, and more.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Bridge Creative to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I would recommend this place to a friend, because it is a very friendly and open group of people, they do so many kind and helpful things for people, and there are a lot of events to choose from to take part in. I am so happy to work at Bridge Creative that I simply can't praise them enough.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Bridge Creative?
I would say to be very understanding with people with learning difficulties and Autism, to be an active member of the team, to be kind and patient with others, try as many different things as possible to find out what you would like doing. That's what I would say if people want to apply here.
