  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I work within the IMT team in the BRS field. I work alongside my team helping them with their cases that they are working on. My tasks vary a lot which keeps my enjoyment levels high. From having to file some documents to having to deal with angry creditors on the phone.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I feel it is very structured. It is very clearly set out and explained to you when you will be studying/when you will be in work. It gives you the oppurtunity to gain very valuable experience while still being able to gain qualifications.

  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • For myself, I relocated for this job from up north so therefore I was very apprenhensive about the money side of things. But I feel its a very lucrative package for what you do. In some essence you are being paid to study. The choices scheme is a fantastic way to gain extra holidays - which for me living away from home is perfect.
