  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I joined over lockdown therefore faced inevitble challenges such as connecting with the team to learn from colleagues, however this changes as restrictions eased. Firebrand can do a better job at giving work mentors an instruction sheet to follow to make things easier to follow.
