Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role involves previewing cases, gathering information and then booking interviews to ascertain if the information the department has received is accurate.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
The apprenticeship assignments are huge and I don't think we have enough time to do the essays.

I have honed my time management skills to get everything completed on time for both my apprenticeship and my job.

Work are brilliant and are super supportive.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

I have sent all assignments to my tutor prior to the submission date to check over everything I have written.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I don't think that the qualification is helping me to perform better in my role.
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 have applied and received an interview for DWP Summer School, a programme with only 80 places and 1000+ applicants.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Department for Work and Pensions to a friend?
Yes
Why?
A career in the Civil Service is brilliant. The salary is good and the benefits outweigh anything I received in the corporate world.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Department for Work and Pensions?
Research if you would like to work for a government department thoroughly as it isn't for everyone.
