I really enjoy the level of responsibility we are given, the calibre of clients we have, the people we deal with on a daily basis, working with people from across the business

Very well structured. Rotate every 4 month and guidance given on this. APC diary, CPD diary and regular chances to develop CPD always given. External companies come in to help with CPD, very structured guidance on how to prepare for APC, given a councillor and supervisor and team mentor

Lots of support given. As well as our line manager we are given an APC supervisor and counsellor and assigned a team mentor. We are constantly provided with workshops for APC and CPD. Regular HR catch ups, a share point with all the resources we need.

Constant check ins and guidance provided. Externally people like APC success come in for workshop days. We meet with out counsellor and supervisor every few months to discuss progress. My UCEM masters- we are given a study day as week and guidance on this to complete our studies.

I have learnt the theory which I can apply practically to my role. So far in my masters I have done a module in Valuation and Law; both of these have allowed me to practically do reports for my line manager to a high standard,

We have grad sports teams such as netball, football, charity committees, Instagram committees, monthly grad drinks, client networking events especially for grads (eg a client breakfast and networking drinks after work), workshop days with networking afterwards, days to meet other teams and network for our rotations.

Yes
