  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • The amount of support i recieve in my work place in great! My business manager sets up regular "hows it going" chats and is always asking me in general conversation if im getting on ok with y coursework and if i need any help as she has done a similar apprenticeship herself with the same provider and she knows how all the portals ect work. Work always make sure they schedule me for training meetings and appointments when i am free and available and they pay for all my training plus my time whilst i am doing so.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • In my job role i have to be customer obsessed and always put the customer first this apprenticeship basically goes hand in hand with these values so i think that i will make some important progress throughout this program that will better me in my position. I have also learned lots of new information about the company i work for due to a module i have just completed called "understanding your organisation" which is great. I have also learned some new ways to interact with customers through a previous module which i have taught to my team and put into daily practice.

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • Yes! I like to take part in and often organise and run a lot of events at work! We give back to the community a lot through "love where you live" events, this is where we go out into the community and help out, this can be anything from traffic control, litter picking, planting and painting, and helping out in care homes. I also organise a lot of events to raise money for the "RMHC" charity which is very rewarding and a lot of fun. We as a store are very social and we often plan crew do's we have two official events for crew a year but we always plan more to do out of work as we all get along so well as a team.
