  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I am a supervisor and shift manager. I lead the team on the floor and interact with the kitchen on deciding each days menu. I am responsible for cashing up at the end of the night and ensuring the building is secure. I also took on the role of Christmas co-ordinator last year, single-handedly confirming the bookings and details of over 3000 guests for Christmas parties in a 3.5 week period.

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • On initial uptake of the appreniceship, myself and my colleague received no support or communication from our trainer provided. She would not turn up for sessions or show up on days we had not planned to see her. When our new trainer, [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions], took over, she was nothing but helpful and understanding. We had the whole course to complete in 2 and a half months and Asha worked alongside both of us to ensure we got this completed in time.
