  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • As a bar supervisor, I am able to open and close the pub. I manage shifts and ensure that every customer receives the best possible service. I am also able to complete back office work such as the banking and stock takes. Pour many pints every shift for the customers.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have been able to develop my customer service skills as well as my communication skills. Doing this job has made me understand how much work goes into running a bar, but I have gained many management skills during my time here. I have become more organised as a person.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • My apprenticeship has been very well organised since I have started it. I have a monthly call where we go over any work that I have completed in that time and we have a catch up about how I have been feeling and if there is anything I have struggled with.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • My employer is aware of my apprenticeship but I don’t often ask for any support. I know that if I needed any help then it would be provided but to this point I’ve not had to ask for help. I do have training hours provided if I require them.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • I receive a lot of support from my training provider in order to gain my final qualification. I am aware that if I do require any additional help then I can ask for that and it will be provided to me as soon as they are able to do so.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • Due to me already working the job role that my apprenticeship is based on, I have not noticed any massive changes in the way I work whilst on the job. Sometimes I do notice little things such as my management skills have improved as well as my communication skills overall.

  • 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.)
  • There are no extra curricular activities that I am able to get involved in. However, we are provided the opportunity to go on training courses and work towards gaining our personal license. So far I have only completed my cellar management course due to covid restrictions but I am hoping to do more.

  • 9a. Would you recommend Marston's to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Overall Marstons are a good company to work for. They keep in contact with you via email which update you on any changes in your workplace or the company as a whole. They also pay well and accordingly for the job role in which you work as. I do recommend.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Marston's?
  • Just to be themselves when going for job interviews as hospitality can be a less formal industry to work in than many others. There is a chance of progression and I would definitely recommend that anyone wanting to work for marstons looks into the possibility of doing further courses and training.
