1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I run projects within the Retirement Advice Centre. I review processes that are completed day to day and make suggestions on how they could be improved. I then run the projects to make these changes.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Overall i think it's okay. I think that because we were the first cohort the organization took a little while to get going however over time it has improved.
