I Greet Clients and Visitors from the gatehouse and bring them to the office. I also produce Operation and Maintenance manuals. I also print drawings for the design team. I also keep a tracker of the information I get sent regarding the different sites we are working on. I also make sure meetings are correctly booked and not overlapped
I have learnt how to make a good cup of tea. I have also learnt how to produce Operation and Maintenance manuals. I have also learnt a lot of skills regarding my college tutor. she has been a very big help in the function of my apprenticeship. I have learnt a variety of new skills and also caught up on skills I learnt in school.
I don't really enjoy my programme. I am moving site to Raynesway where I am set to work with the site team. I am looking forward to this and will enjoy this. I am looking forward to be able to practice my apprenticeship and job role without any disruption from people overlooking my work
the apprenticeship is very organised. With regular visits and catch ups with my college tutor. this has helped me if I have any queries with my coursework. the office is organised and structured. the meeting timetable is also structured and organised which is something I look after. the work we produce is also structured and organised in a professional way.
I receive a lot of support from my line manager. he supports me in any way he can. I asked if there was any courses I could do to help me gain experience ready for raynesway and he put me through my First Aid at Work course which was awesome
I have received an endless amount of support from my training provider. if I have any problems or queries my college tutor always gives me a ring or the training provider gives me a ring to see how things are going and If I need any help or support with anything regarding my work or coursework.
my qualification topics have been based on my job role. I have gained so much knowledge throughout my course and that will help me in my job role as I am studying things that'll help me in my job. learning how to write meeting minutes has helped me in meetings
unfortunately we can never decide on an event to go through with, or we don't get as many people involved as we should so not many people go. we often send out emails regarding votes with different nights out for the office. most people don't reply to the emails or when we get replies we price up how much it would be to go on these nights out and as soon as we send the prices we get no replies back
Yes
JN Bentley have been an amazing employer. I had to have surgery in Jan 2019 and they were supportive of that. I have had some medical problems which have regarded time off and they have been helpful with that. I have also needed support during my role and I have had an amazing amount of support throughout my apprenticeship and I can only hope it is onwards and upwards for the company.
be sure your job description is the type of job you would like. make sure the mentor you have knows they are just a mentor and not a boss. and also to make sure you are going to be doing what the job description says. I would also say to make some friends on the induction day as It has helped me. I now work with 4 of the people I went on induction with and they are some of the nicest people I have met.
