Overview of Role

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

5/5
I thoroughly enjoy my role, everyday is different. I get to work with different people every day, working in different situations and helping others grow.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5
Only just started the Forward Programme, but it's been extremely rewarding so far. Extremely privileged to be apart of it with some amazing Chefs

Currently learning new skills, embracing everything that comes my way.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5
Outstanding.
Everything is organised extremely well, accommodation, food, travel, lessons, feedback. Highly recommend.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5
Full support.
From the very beginning with the assessment day, now to the away days, my upper management have been extremely supportive.

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

5/5
HIT training have been brilliant, has always helped and guided me.

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

Learning new skills and pushing myself. This can only benefit me going forward.

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
There isn't much for this, we attend the Junior Chef academy which is amazing. We socialise as a team, but there is nothing structured.
