Third Party Contract Manager Review

My role is as the third party project manager for the University Hospitals of Leicester account. What this means is that I am in charge of making sure that the software and hardware contracts that UHL (part of the NHS) hold are renewed when they come to their expiry date while looking to make savings on the contracts, this can be done by moving supplier for example

Yes I have learnt a great deal of business and financial skills from this role as well as how to deal with a variety of people from client to the suppliers

I enjoy the programme as you are not treated as an apprentice, they will treat you the same as any other employee.

I feel valued mainly because of the role that I do, as I am project manager it means that I am a key role to my account as the project would fail if I left.

The programme is fairly well organised as we know when we will have to attend training courses and most are flexible around when we need to be in work

We receive support if we ask for it which is how I like it to be as I find it more irritating than useful when we are pestered to make sure we are ok.

Same as above

I feel that my salary for an apprentice is good, however for the role I have taken on I feel that I am not being paid the amount that I should.

We are constantly offered giveback opportunities which would give us a chance talk to prospective employees which is good to see.

Yes

As I feel that they provide the widest choice of roles out of any company and you are free to move between them on a fairly regular basis.

It helps to make yourself stand out, if you can make people think you are something special then they will take a chance and give you more responsibilities
