Having clear ownership areas and regular check‑ins has made it easy to understand expectations and priorities. While there have been some challenges at times with rotation planning and changes in workstreams, these experiences have also helped me become more adaptable and proactive. On the whole, the structure of the role has supported my development and allowed me to get the most out of each placement.

I receive a high level of support from my employer, both in terms of day‑to‑day guidance and longer‑term development. I have regular check‑ins with my manager, clear access to support when needed and encouragement to ask questions and take ownership of my learning. There is a strong emphasis on development, with opportunities for feedback, training and exposure to new areas, which has helped me feel supported, confident and motivated in my role.

I receive good support from my training provider while working towards my qualification, with clear guidance on coursework, deadlines and assessment requirements. There is regular communication and access to tutors when support is needed, which helps keep me on track alongside my day‑to‑day role. While balancing work and study can be challenging at times, the structure and support provided has helped me manage my workload effectively and continue progressing confidently through the programme.

The culture is inclusive and collaborative, and I’ve felt encouraged to learn, ask questions and grow in confidence throughout my time here.
