Financial Crime Administrator Review

I conduct sanctions screening of potential clients, I analyse whether the entities could pose a potential threat to Lockton if we place business with them. I also head up the gifts and entertainment register, where I monitor bribery and corruption risk.

Coming straight from sixth form into a corporate roll was daunting as I did not feel that I was equipped with the right skill sets. However I have continued to surprise myself. My communication skills grow daily, along with my proactive style of thinking.

As the programme progressed I was able to see some overlap with my every day role. However at times I still do struggle. I have had difficulty in gauging if I am progressing at the right speed due to the slow pace of marking from my skills coach.

I would have preferred to have completely understood how the end point assessment worked towards the start of the programme, being provided this information towards the end has been quite stressful.

My team specifically have been very supportive.

I think that my training provider could have provided more support especially in relation to making my work. I have found months go by without some work being marked which can be very frustrating.

I tend to keep my apprenticeship programme and my every day role separate, however I have completed my ICA exam which I did find extremely helpful to my role.

There are different activates to get involved in, I know that there is a netball team at Lockton and a wider Lloyds football team. I also know that there is a group called ignite which is for anyone below the age of 30.

Yes

I have found the transition from school to work to be smooth, I believe that to be down to my team who have encouraged my growth as a person and as a professional.

Its a great opportunity to grow, so don't hesitate, just do it!
