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

My role consists of a variety of admin tasks including diary management for my team, organising travel, booking meetings, preparing and sending out the documents needed for the meeting and also collating information and feedback. I am part of the Apprenticeship team within the Co-op so I also make the different departments aware of the apprenticeship opportunities available within their business area and research the apprenticeship standards available to suit the job role they have in mind, I also collectively manage a apprenticeship enquiry inbox and will administer the apprenticeship service account when it goes live.
