Assessment Associate Relations Manager Review

I undertake an HR function for a contracted workforce of Assessors, Moderators and Examiners. Writing and reviewing of Policies, procedures and guidance, complaints management, supporting the wider business on matters relating to the conduct and performance of the contractors.

While still early in my course, I have already learnt about change management theory, organisational structure and culture, and evidence based practice, some of which I am already using in my work. I have also joined CIPD training to learn about recent changes to employment law.

I am really enjoying the programme I have joined and the learning I have done so far. Pearson, my line manager and the apprenticeship team have all been really supportive and have made sure I have the time I need to complete the work I need to do.

From my initial enquiries through to my onboarding and starting my learning has been made really easy by both Pearson and the provider they have selected to work with. I've been consulted and updated at every stage and couldn't have asked for more.

I get all the support I need and more from Pearson, my line manager, and the apprenticeship team. They have also created a wider community of apprenticeships and apprenticeship advocates where we have the opportunity to meet and learn from current and former apprentices.

The training provider have provided excellent support for my learning. There are workshop's and regular check-ins with my skills coach. They are also there for support outside of the structured meetings. I get regular reminders of my deadlines, and they are understanding of the pressures of my day-to-day work.

The CIPD qualification and apprenticeship certification I am working towards are vital to my future progression. They are already having a positive impact on my work and will prepare me for future roles at a more senior level.

My team is very small but I spend time at work and socially with wider teams that I work with. I join events held for the Pearson apprentice community such as apprenticeship week. I have joined professional development events hosted by CIPD and soon hope to become an AI ambassador.

Yes

I really enjoy the culture of the organisation, and they advocate for and strongly support continued learning and development. Aside from development in your own role, there is lots of opportunity to be involved with other projects and areas of the business which gives plenty of options for future progression.

Get your application in, and be willing to get involved. There are huge opportunities available to people who work here, and you get the best from this when you are not on the side-lines.
