Consultant Review

I am a regional project consultant, I work on improving the recruitment processes and supporting our recruitment teams in regions

Learnt more about Employment Law during my People Professional Level 5 apprenticeship, also I have learnt many analysis techniques and how best to use them

I am enjoy the programme and the learning I am gaining from it. I have catch ups with my tutor every 8 - 12 weeks to ensure I'm progressing

I have had to chase for schemes of work and documents, and we struggled to have the correct content taught due to different tutors, but I feel the organisation is getting better now. I now know my workshops for the rest of the year so can plan around them

My organisation has been very supportive and lets me be involved in projects relating to my apprenticeship. Also, I have monthly catch ups with my Line Manager where my apprenticeship is discussed.

So far I haven't had to resubmit any assignments, so haven't needed support on these. I think it has become more structured now, to start with there was confusion on how to meet the duties and they have changed the off the hours log to be just knowledge

Helps me have a broader HR knowledge, in areas that I might not get involved in e.g. training and Employment Law. This helps my knowledge when working with these teams during my projects.

Lidl has a social events committee and often has events that you can get involved it, invites are sent and you can join when you are available (for example sip and paint). Also, we are often sent awards and networking meetings that we can attend/ have tickets for (for example Rec Fest)

Yes
