Development Project Officer Review

I am a project manager for the New Build Team, I acquire new build properties on behalf of the authority and project lead the build process throughout for them to be added to our Housing stock as Affordable Rent or Shared Ownership

I have developed management skills, most of all I am more self aware of how I am perceived and how I perceive others

I enjoy learning new theories and how they can be adapted to my working conditions.

My tutor is brilliant, however I feel that the first 6 months has very little work outside the workshops and then there is too much work for the end of the course, the assignment could be spread out better.

My employer and manager in particularly are very supportive, however the day to day job still needs to be done so finding time allowance is not as easy as one day a week when first advertised

very supportive and available to discuss issues when they arise

As stated earlier I am more self aware, this means when communicating with contractors and stakeholders I am more aware of how I may be perceived. I have found I am better at building relationships

yes, there are lots, at this time I am a member of the golf society and table tennis society. Regular small tournaments are held and always lots of learning and activities advertised through our internal site

Yes

I have worked is a few different roles and been with the Council for over 13 years. They have allowed me to progress from a general admin job into a career with qualifications.

Always read the questions and give examples during the application and interview process
