Admin assistant Review

My role includes data entry, anti money laundering checks, ethical checks, undertaking reports. additional duties include helping to train other members of the team that I am a part of and supporting my team leaders with help for new members of our team and general support of other staff members with general queries

My daily tasks helped me to demonstrate and make use of my English skills. my role includes a lot of excel use which was not a string point for me initially but with additional training and support from my manager I feel more confident using this program than I was before.

I enjoyed the most part of my apprenticeship. Learning about areas that I had no knowledge of before was very interesting and I was able to identify areas which | already had knowledge in that would be useful in my current role. The program was a overall positive experience for me that I enjoyed.

I felt that the program could have been better structured. It was difficult to get hold of my tutor outside of our monthly session where I was taught that months topic. I also raised with my tutor that I did not like how a lot of the time a couple of months topics were done in one session, meaning it was a lot of information to remember for a months time when the tasks were set.

My employer was extremely supportive. My manager always checked with me if I required more time to complete my tasks and was always happy to help if I required it. Members of my team were also very helpful, as several of them had completed an apprenticeship, they were able to provide help and support with tasks when I was unsure.

I feel like the support from the provider was extremely lacking. Several times I contacted my tutor as I was unsure of something and would either not receive a reply or receive a response where they just copied in the question that I was having an issue with, providing no additional support. When I was signed off on sick leave for 3 weeks unexpectedly, my tutor told me that in future I should let her know in advance if that is going to happen.

Certain aspects of my qualification will help me greatly in my role. topics such as time management will help me manage my day better and the skills that I have learnt for programs that I was unsure of will help me greatly and increase my worth as an employee and allow me to offer my manager more in terms of help for a wider range of tasks.

There are several extra curricular activities that are on offer at my workplace. Our team has a monthly meal outside of work where we can relax with our co workers in a social setting. The company also offers quiz nights and social events such as bowling in the past which have been well received and well attended.

Yes

The communication within the company is excellent and the respect the employees have for their co workers is high. They are extremely understanding that you are a person, not just an employee and will always work with you rather than against you.

Do your research before applying to understand what we do. It is very important that you are aware of and understand our core working values and that these are aligned with your own values. The company is very friendly and there is no room for negativity so make sure you are bringing the right attitude to the company.
