Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5
My role consisted of doing weekly reports and delegate counts on our training portal, keeping an eye on upcoming training courses, updating social media, answering the shared inbox, visiting venues & events and other admin tasks.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5
I have really enjoyed my time at Medway Council Public Health.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5
I have learnt lots of new skills, especially to do with IT, such as Microsoft Excel.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5
I love the structure of the apprenticeship. I find the OTJ Log and Ecordia easy to follow and enjoy working on them both.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5
I have always had support from my manager, colleagues and apprenticeship assessor and always feel I can ask them questions whenever I need to.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

5/5
We have monthly meetings which are really helpful, but she is only an email away if I ever need her for anything in between.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5
Working towards this qualification has helped me massively. I have secured a permanent position within another team of the same department and feel so grateful for the experience my apprenticeship has given me.

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
Yes, lots! With my previous role I always had the opportunity to go out to different events and help out as well as lots of venue visits. I really enjoyed this side to the job and luckily with my new role I get to attend networking events as well as visit our partners. I am also helping to plan this year's annual event!
