My employer has and is supporting me greatly. This ranges from ensuring I am happy carrying out the new work given to me all the way to helping with problems with expenses etc...

7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

Throughout my job searching there were very few if any other companies which offered the same salary package as the company I work for now. It meets my cost's at the moment but I can't wait for a pay rise or a promotion which I suppose is the same for everyone.

9/10

8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

This question is a hard one as I work away from a company office so where I work daily there have been many opportunities to help out and take part in charity events and fund raisers.
