  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • My employer doesn't really help when I need it, she is always very busy doing other things and can't manage to make time for me. This is not a problem though as I have an amazing tutor who is always on the other end of the phone when I need help.

  • 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.)
  • We dont currently have any extra-curricular activities to get involved in at my workplace. I think it would be nice to bring something like this in. My workplace is more for the service users than the employees. In my opinion, I think it would help a lot to have this brought in.
