Project Support Officer Review

Keeping tabs on tracking document, communicating with external stakeholder, taking minutes for meetings of importance, creating reports weekly for any engagements we have, issuing certain external stakeholders package numbers to receive payment, sending out newsletters to external stakeholders who are on our contact list which they request to be on, floating around other teams to provide an extra hand for tasks and projects.

Many skills have been developed, new skills have arrived such as work capacity management, efficiency of taking minutes, improving on time management, scheduling for others and ensuring my work is at a good standard by receiving written feedback for my own use. Have developed more skills of IT products such as excel as it is a daily activity for me to use.

I enjoy the programme very much, it has given me the foot in the door so to speak in the career I want to pursue and become very successful from. It has also given me a second chance to get my work life in order, proving me not only with a good job but also a great future. I highly cherish the opportunity and will take it and stride for as long as i can.

So far it has been incredibly smooth and efficient. The work given to me is at a good pace with little to no reasoning why I won't be able to complete the work, my Trainer has been incredible for the entire duration and am confident they will be throughout the course. Overall very happy with the layout of the programme.

My employer is really supportive, being autistic I do sometimes struggle with some things, my employer has made it a lot easier for me by taking the time out to be more accessible for me and also understanding of my learning styles. I have appreciated their help and support so far and I cannot thank them enough.

My trainer is amazing, provides me written and verbal aid and answers my questions thoroughly. They have been helpful throughout the time so far and I cannot be happier with the amount of clarity they give to me when I need some contextual information or general queries need answering. Overall I am very happy with their help and support.

It gives me a different perspective on my job and how I approach my work both in my role and in the tasks given. I also feel as if there are many activities that provide you with decent knowledge before handling a task. I also keep on hand everything I do which allows me to refer back to previous work and remember my methods

Yes there are many things, networking events, away days, and social gatherings if they are planned.

Yes

This job has bee the best workplace I've ever worked in by far, I have never been so calm, relaxed and willing to tackle a problem head on without having some form of anxiety issues or hesitation to get some things done. This job without a doubt have the friendliest people I've ever met, people who are allowed to express themselves while allowing yourself to do the same and not judge you or make you feel insignificant or incompetent. This job is the best, I will 100% do my best at all times as I am very lucky to be part of a team and institute that make me feel valued and impactful. My gratitude is incredibly high.

Be mindful of what you say and how you say it. The interviews will be very difficult and different to other places, they expect an almost story based answer when they ask you a question, giving the best examples you can will give you bonus points as well as summarising it too. Providing a clear answer is key, do not leave any context in the dark.
