Resourcing Advisor Review

As a Resourcing Advisor, I work with managers to fill hard to fill roles, particularly in the medical division recruiting Doctors. I work with Agencies to fill these roles and liaise directly with overseas candidates and support their move to the UK. I work with managers on their budgets and provide recruitment training.

Yes, I am more creative thinking than before my apprenticeship and make more accurate decisions. I am more confident communicating with employees at all levels. I have a wider understand of business success and the external/internal factors that can determine this.

I have really enjoyed my apprenticeship programme. It has allowed me identify my own strengths and areas I've needed to build on which my programme has helped me do. I have a much better understanding of HR and the types of knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to succeed. It has been challenging at times juggling my everyday workload with my CIPD assignments and apprenticeship standards however it is something I'm really proud of achieving.

The programme was structured well. I initially concentrated on my CIPD assignments but also ensured to log all new learning for my apprenticeship. I found it beneficial being able to complete my CIPD level 5 before then going to gateway for my apprenticeship standard.

I switched employer during my apprenticeship however both employers were really supportive of my programme. They left me to manage my own time but were available should I need their support with anything regarding my apprenticeship.

My tutor, was an amazing support throughout my apprenticeship. She was always very responsive and gave great guidance if I was struggling with anything. She is a great asset to MBKB. She was very knowledgeable and ran the CIPD training sessions which I found really helpful. I didn't have much contact with anyone else during my apprenticeship from MBKB however deadlines were always clearly outlined and I knew where to find the support should I have needed it.

I now have a better understanding of the different HR functions and how we can work together to achieve the best for the organisation. I have more confidence within my role as I have learned more about the organisation and any factors that effect. I have learned more around how to communicate effectively at all levels and this is something I do confidently on a regular basis.

My work place supports personal development with various courses I could get involved in. They would support me in attending any professional events in order to network with others in the HR community. I also attend webinars on a regular basis both to support my role and my professional development.

Yes

It is a very supportive company to work for. They invest in their people through providing development opportunities and are very flexible around working arrangements. I have a lot of autonomy within my role which helps me to learn and further myself.
