Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
The apprenticeship works on a rotation basis, 6 months in a team at the time - I am currently on my second rotation and so far I've been very satisfied. Team 1: Day-to-day was very varied, it included participating in all the micro teams across my department. Team 2: Day-to-day seems so include lots of different tasks in relation to the team and department only - everything is familiar it just includes taking part in different sections of the processes.
