Social Sustainability Coordinator Review

I enable the delivery of Social Mobility activity (employment, education and training), Foundational Economy activity (investment in social business and the local economy and volunteering) and Social Inclusion activity (community support and EDI training) on the Transpennine Route Upgrade. I liaise with internal and external stakeholders, to plan, promote, deliver, monitor and report on BAM's social sustainability.

I have learnt about Stakeholder Management, Project Management, Circular Economy, Communication Skills & enhanced my Sustainability knowledge.

I have really enjoyed my apprenticeship, I found the workload a lot at times but I feel it has helped massivley with understanding of my job role and it will also help me to progess up to management in the future.

I dedicated one day each week to my apprenticeship, during which I attended regular online courses with my tutor. The remaining four days were spent working on the project.

My employer has been super supportive, my manager has allowed extra time if needed to meet tight deadlines and has organised for staff to support as and when required.

My tutor is fantastic, she is really knowledgable about the content that was delivered, she was always available to meet if i was struggling and talk through ideas. When I was struggling with so many written elements the tutor adapted her training to allow me to be able to undertake professional discussions.

I have a much wider knowledge about corporate responsibility and learnt how to horizon scan , project manage, environmental & sustainability impacts which the project i am working on has so many job roles and I now have a better understanding of the importance of how they all work together. I feel I am able to have better conversations with higher management to help inform and make better decisions.

Yes I am involved in the setting up of a neurodiverse group for any one with an interest or parents of children have a safe place to talk / support each other

Yes

It is a really great place to work and the company really cares about it's staff and their progression. There is lots of great benefits for staff.

There are many different opportunities within BAM, the staff are all super helpful and willing to help you on your journey!
