9.5/10

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

I help to set up for the day ahead, help to run the shift smoothly throughout the day by either being on a station or area leading so flexing onto all of the stations to help them when they are busy.

9/10

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

I am improving my skills through the shifts by learning why we do certain things a way and learning more ways to show confidence within myself.

8/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I really enjoy it now at the start not so much because I got passed around a bit because of needing to change who was helping me but since I have been paired up with Rosie she has been the most amazing help with skills and confidence.

10/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Better now they have shared the apprentices out so one person doesn't have more than they can handle.

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

So much, she goes out of her way to make sure I understand what I am doing and have all the help I need. No matter what time of the day she is always helping me no matter what.
