Overview of Role

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

4/5
Auditing charities.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5
Yes, lots. From improving on social skills and confidence through having to deal with a different client every week to more technical skills and critical thinking.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5
Extremely organised and structured.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5
Heaps. Seniors and managers have all been where we are and are more than happy to share their knowledge and give their insight into any given problem. As I've progressed through the qualification, I've found myself doing the same for newer members of staff, which really shows the supportive culture here.

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

5/5
Quite a lot. Study days, revision days and available on email at any time. Found them to be quite competent.

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

5/5
A decent amount. I'd say the most relevant learning we do is what we learn on the job.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

4/5
Some social activities outside of work, mainly organised by other trainees.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Sayer Vincent to a friend?

Yes

Why?

I have learnt a lot working at Sayer Vincent and improved on a lot of skills. Being a smaller firm, you get a lot of exposure very early on. You're also given a lot of responsibility and free reign over your work.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Sayer Vincent?

Put time into your application, really think about what they're asking you in your application form and tailor it to what you think a company who works with charities wants to hear.
