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

*manage a team * plan for future investment needs * work with regulators

9/10

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

Yes. More about myself and coaching theory.

8/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Learning is good and actual coaching sessions with coachees are challenging at first as I'm new to the skills but getting better as I gain experience.

8/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Could be improved by seeing the full structure and plan of the learning at the beginning. Several times useful information has come too late. There's a disconnect between the trainer delivering the theoretical workshops and the tutor I work individually with.

7/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

Support is time to complete some of the assigned work in office hours. Culturally we still need to adopt coaching and see the benefits.

7/10

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

Difficult to say. There are workshops and I have a separate tutor - as mentioned before there's a disconnect.

6/10

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I can apply what I'm learning and use the development areas from my PDP.

8/10

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

No.

5/10

9a. Would you recommend South East Water to a friend?

No

9b. Why?

Structure is disjointed and there's little explanation of next steps. Bud platform can be clunky. Apprenticeship providers don't seem to understand that we the clients are working a full time job too. Mismatch between apprenticeship provider/our HR dept expectations/real world of work.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to South East Water?

Think carefully and ask those with experience.
