The Role
The role is very varied and therefore enjoyable and the working environment is great.
The role is within a small close team therefore I do feel valued as the role is important and needed within the department.
The small team the role is within is extremely supportive in all situations. I feel comfortable asking questions.
Some days I am very busy, others I am less so.
As the role is within a small team on occasions I am alone in the office to man the department. I am also in charge of the marketing alone.
Every day I am learning valuable life skills.
The Company
Very comfortable enviroment.
I took over from a previous student who helped me settle in the role.
There are many training courses avaliable across many different areas. If I ask any questions to the team I work within they are always more then happy to help me and teach me skills they already possess.
