I love my job, everyday I get job satisfaction and always have the support from my colleagues, assessor and apprenticeship provider to help me get the most out of my qualification. I cant wait to keep growing my knowledge and expanding my future in mortgage advice at my company and beyond
I feel like it is well structured, when i started at the company i was given a guide / timeline of how my apprenticeship is going to look throughout, starting with the 4 week workplace initial training and throughout my working career how my apprenticeship provider will guide me through the 1-2 year course
I recieve so much support from my employer, my colleagues in my office support me day to day aswell as my line manager. I am also supported by the managing director or my department who is always checking up on me. My apprentice recruitment officer [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] also checks up on me monthly
Myself and my training assessor from the training provider checks up on me through 6 week interval calls aswell as weekly emails to see how i am getting on with my work, if i need any further assistance and also just cares about my general wellbeing both inside and outside of work
Without My qualification i would not be able to perform in my role, I am required to qualify in a certain LIBF body to conduct my mortgage advise and the extra written work and role plays I do with my training provider also helps me massively when writing recommendations to customers
I participate in extra-curricular activities such as wellbeing advocates who focus on creating a better wellbeing support umbrella for all colleagues at the society. I am always involved with my team, participating in weekly walks to promote physical health improvements aswell as this being a social activity. I am invited to my first awards night in London this month also which is an amazing opportunity
Yes
I think it is a great place to work, my company cares about me as an individual and will support me in anyway to be a better version of myself both inside and outside of work. I think i get great benefits here and feel really valued as a employee
No matter how much you think a personal attribute to yourself is, include this in your application, NBS see the great in everything you do and always have an idea to expand on that attribute to help you personally and to help to society as a whole. They want the best
