  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • On a daily basis I deal with material orders within the business. This includes raising orders, and sending these orders to the suppliers. I work with my manager, and two girls who also do the same job as me in the office. On a Friday I do weekly payroll for two different sites; Erith and St Neots. This involves me entering their hours into a software called Timekeeper so that they are paid correctly each week.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I am given tasks by my manager which I follow, this allows me to learn new stuff while at work. College isn't the best as it is in Manchester, quite far to travel for a 2 hour college day. I haven't been set the good amount of work from college and its all communication over emails which can get confusing at times.
