1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

As a recruitment administrator, I have to deal with emails, phones call and some queries. I have to prepare and organise paperwork for recruitment events, check medical recruitment inbox on a regular basis to answer applicant queries where applicable & use colour code to flag to relevant team member. Answering queries in the recruitment inbox in a timely manner. Printing of documents and making sure we have the resources. Also, ensuring this is done in a timely manner Provide admin support to the recruitment co-ordinator as and when needed.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have learnt a lot of new skills like working in systems, like Selenity, Eportfolio and others, that I haven't worked before, also how to interpret emails and the candidates needs. I have developed my confidence in English speaking and writing. The NVQ is been helping me a lot with all the setup training that my tutor is giving me.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I am very happy with this opportunity to learn. It is not always easy to combine work and study. But every time I have asked for help, time to work on the NVQ, asking for new tasks that will help me with my shadow. I always had the best support. I am learning a lot with this course and I feel I have improved my confidence.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Due to this pandemic and at the moment we are all working from home, we set up an HEE quiz every Thursday afternoon. That is a way to relax as a team from work and do something altogether
