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

I act as a first line of support for our buyers and help them with any legal issues they may have. This includes reviewing contracts, engaging in supplier negotiations and managing legal relationships.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have learnt more communication skills and how to cater the way that i communicate to different members of the team. It is so important that you deliver materials in a way that works best with whoever you are delivering it to and over time you improve on this skill and it will come easier.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

My programme is structured really well. The university have a clear schedule on when work needs to be completed and when you have specific workshop sessions. Having my clear one day which i have for study makes it really easy to structure my day and also know how to work out when specific pieces of work need completing.

My employer allows me one day per week as my study day, this means that i can work solely on my apprenticeship work on that day. My employer is really flexible with my apprenticeship and offers support when i need it
