Through out the day i am responsible for different jobs, these vary depending on what they are for. For example, i have a different projects that i have administrative duties for. This include logging documents and information, collating said information into software such as excel, and compiling reports for to send off. I also can spending some of time creating publicity materials such as posters and newsletters.
I have massively developed my confidence within this job. I have also realised a lot about myself, that i can do more than what i thought i could. I started not long before the Covid 19 restrictions came into play, this is has meant i have also learnt how to work from home effectively.
I have really enjoyed the time spent so far, It has been very interesting to learn new skills. I feel very lucky to have developed both personally and professionally. That the skills i have learnt from this, i have been able to transfer them, use them and grow as a person.
I feel the programme is quite structured as a whole, My tutor is always there to answer any questions. He does always seems very organised when we have contact, whether this be over a phone call, through email conversation and especially when we have meetings through apps such as teams.
My employer is supportive and understanding of my apprenticeship. They ensure they keep regular contact with LSP, any issues they like to know straight away so they can start thinking about solutions. I have regular meetings to discuss what i'm currently doing, if i need more support and general progress.
When working towards my qualification, i get as much support and advice as i need and want. If i'm particularly struggling with something then i can bring this up in a catch up, to which i'm given the help i need in order to succeed to the best of my abilities.
I feel this massively helps me to perform better in my role. As when i'm at work i learn the practical hands on skills. i then learn more of the theory aspect of things when completing work towards my qualification. This side helps me to learn why the tasks i do at work need to be done and the importance of them.
As exciting and interesting as all of the above examples sound, unfortunately at this precise moment none of them are available. The knowledge i currently have of the availability of these opportunities is quite small. That is not to say there aren't there or there haven't been there before, as majority of my time at the organisation has been during the Covid 19 restrictions.
Yes
After working within the charity organisation that is Lincolnshire Action Trust for over a year now, and gaining my level 2 in business administration. I would recommend to a friend, overall it is a good company. They have given me the opportunity to learn lots of new skills and experience in a sector i had zero in beforehand.
If thinking about applying to Lincolnshire Action Trust, then you will be surrounded by people who are passionate about the key visions and values that Lincolnshire Action Trust stand for. The staff work with these always in their minds, and are always professional in their approach. Always happy to help in any way they can.
