Policy Analyst Review

I lead and support the analysis that underpins prudential regulatory policy for UK banks and insurers.

I have learned to code in R as well as developed my policy writing skills.

I highly enjoy my programme. It is engaging and relevant to my day-to-day role as well as offers academic stretch.

Very well organsied. I can take my study day any day of the week meaning it is flexible around my work and my managers are aware and understanding of my additional university committments and aways assist me in meeting them.

I receive considerably support in that they allow me to manage my workload flexibly, where possible, to ensure I am not over-burdened while giving me oppurtunities to stretch myself and apply my learnings.

Some support. My employer is aware of the time commitments required to meet my qualifications and make allowances in my work load for that.

My qualification helps to an extent, it has allowed me to grow my skills in R programming language, as well as my work with statistical data. However, I do not tend to use economic models in my day-to-day work so the university content is not always relevant.

There are lots of communities at my work which cater to a wide variety of interests and the Bank actively encourages colleagues to get involved with communities and networks.

Yes

It is a psychologically safe environment where your work is central to the British economy. The Bank caters to all variteties of people and strives to make everyone feel valued. However, being public sector, the pay is lower than some comparable employers.

Have a keen interest in the Bank's mission and understand how it is actively pursuing it. E.g. if your interest is regulation, study the history of the PRA, what it does and what is has published recently so you can understand the current issues facing the Bank.
