1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I check my emails in the morning and assist with any tasks that my line manager or any of my other colleagues give me. This could be to draft an email to a client or to draft a first report. I may have team meetings with people in my team, general meetings with the service line or meetings with other trainees where we catch up.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I've learnt how to use different types of software. My team working skills, time management and organization has improved. There are many training videos, lessons and emails available to keep you up to date and make sure your skills are constantly being improved.

9/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the programme because I am well supported by my colleagues, there is always someone on the team I can go to for help. People also have adjusted expectations because they know that most trainees are coming into the field with no experience in the area, so colleagues are very understanding.

9/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

There are senior people on the team who have given their feedback so it has made it easier for new people to follow a structure path. There is a dedicated early careers team where you can ask any questions and you can ask any colleagues as well as many of them have been through the same process.
