Working in a cluster level Programme Management Office (PMO) entails: daily interaction with project and programme managers as well as other stakeholders; producing documentation to comply with corporate protocols and processes and ensuring our resource profile is in line with ERP data.
First and foremost I have a new found level of confidence due to daily to interation with people form all walks of life.I fell my oral and written communication has improved. I am also looking to enroll on the Prince2 course.
I love my day to day job with everyday being differnt. I have luckily found myself in a new directorate, with a very supportive team.
On the whole i feel valued by the majority of people, however there is occassionally some grade-discrimination from colleagues outside my immeadiate area.
On the whole pretty poor. The communication from both internal and external comms is poor and i have found 3rd party assessors/teachers not to be the standard i expected (so far).
My mentor is great and i have regular face to face meetings with him. However Capita on the whole have been unimpressive.
My manager is superb; he has lots of patience and encorouges me to try new things.
For an apprentice it's easily one of the best on the market.
There is a limited number and i really feel that internal Civil Service Resourcing should have a greater emphasisi on providing informal networking opportunities.
Yes
It's an amazing opportunity to earn a proper salary whilst continuing to learn .
Just be yourself.
