Risk Analyst Review

I'm a risk analyst, my day to day duties are updating and reviewing policies, keeping trackers up to date, reviewing business continuity plans and scheduling policy update reviews.

I've learned how to use Excel, gained a much better understanding of Word and PowerPoint, I've learned so much around the area of risk and the precautions in place to keep the organisation secure. I have a great understanding of how royalties are collected and distributed and I'd also say my English skills have improved.

I am thoroughly enjoying my programme, I am learning new things everyday at work as well as learning so much through my apprenticeship, my work never really feels repetitive and i always keep myself busy, as this is a completely new type of job for me, I've found it extremely interesting.

My programme is well balanced, I have enough time to do the apprenticeship work given as well as my work in office. Lots of the work set for my studies co-align with my job which is very helpful.

I receive all the support i need from my employer, if i ever need a hand or am just struggling, I'm pointed in the right direction to speak to the necessary person. My manager always gives the time to sit down and talk through work given and loves to give advice on my apprenticeship work.

My tutor has supported me since day 1, she has been a great help and always finds the time to talk with me if I'm confused on something that's been set. She teaches me in a way that i understand and she has played a major role in getting me through my apprenticeship.

As i stated before, there is a lot of assignments in my apprenticeship that align with the work i do at my job, this improves my knowledge and skills for my job role, for example i had an assignment on GDPR regulations which plays a huge role in the work I do.

We have a wide range of affinity groups to join, an example would be the LGBTQ group which consists of the LGBTQ community, they set up fundraisers and events in the office. We also have an employee who teaches piano lessons after work. We also regularly set up fundraisers.

Yes

It's a positive place to wok and has a genuine friendly vibe to it. Everybody is treated with respect and is an organisation that genuinely cares about it's employees.

I'd say just be yourself, there are so many different types of people here and that's what makes it such a fun and interesting place to work.
