Shift manager Review

Supporting the pub manager in the day to day running of the pub.

Improved knowledge of company finances, improved knowledge of business risk analysis, noticing the difference between “managers” and “leaders” and the implications/benefits of these.

Having the opportunity to learn something different which has a positive effect on my work. Being able to talk to the team about this and encourage others to take part in an apprenticeship with JDW and the positive effects it has for them and JDW.

Great. The only issue being that the most important project started November 2022, just before the busiest time of the year in hospitality, meaning a lot of catching up in January. This was the only issue throughout.

As much as needed. Though there’s not a lot of people on my area who have completed the course recently. Working with the people on my course has been more beneficial.

A fair amount. One of the course leaders left Leeds Beckett mid term, and one was difficult to get in touch with but there were others who were great.

More confident in certain aspects. Knowing there was some modules I enjoyed more has given me an indication into where I’d like my career to develop.

We often have charity driven activities and teams for Clic Sargent. There are also alot of different networking zoom meetings.

JDW is a company that look after their staff (despite what rumours circulated during covid). They adhere to their “employee promise”, provide great bonuses and incentives. The apprenticeship has been great for me, having worked for JDW for 9 years I’ve enjoyed getting back into learning and developing myself.

Have a positive mindset and work ethic. Hospitality is hard work but also rewarding. JDW appreciate the work you do, with regular bonuses, discounts and free food on shift. It’s great that the apprenticeship scheme runs for all abilities, and different sections of the business.
