Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I perform a number of various administrative tasks such as meeting coordination and minute taking. I do some finance management through purchase order and invoice management, as well as staff administration to include changes to staff role and banding and recording appraisals and sickness.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I've been doing it for a while so I'm fairly confident in what I'm doing.

Fairly well.

My line managers are very supportive and easily contacted.

5/5
Classes are interactive, lecturers knowledgeable and supportive.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

It has helped in terms of organising and managing my time. At present, my qualification isn't being used as it's ongoing and I'm not in a role where I'm able to put anything that I've learnt into 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.)
