Talent and Careers Coordinator Review

I support my team with administration tasks such as updating data and information, researching potential talent offers, streamlining our trackers, etc. I collaborate with colleagues to share valuable information with the rest of my team. I also support my colleagues with talent programmes such as apprenticeships and internships.

I have improved my organisational skills, as multitasking is part of my role. Managing different tasks has encouraged me to be more disciplined with my time to successfully meet deadlines. This skills has positively contributed to both my professional and personal development.

I really enjoyed my programme because it gave me the knowledge and skills I needed to progress in my career. It also gave me a great perspective into the field and also access to specialists, from whom I gained many valuable insights.

It was well structured - from onboarding to EPA, I was provided with the support that I needed. My tutors taught modules in an easy to digest manner, my skills coach was a friendly, encouraging expert who supported me throughout my journey, and the providers were helpful.

My employer, particularly my line manager was an instrumental component in my success. I was given lots of support and encouragement from my team to explore what the organisation had to offer and discover different opportunities to grow and develop in my role. My employer inspired me to challenge myself and take on tasks I had never done before, and I truly felt growth in this role and programme.

I received an adequate amount of support - my tutors and my skills coach were helpful and happy to answer questions that I had about the modules or programme. They also gave me excellent advice in the field which I was able to take back and share with my team.

Through my qualification, I developed new and existing skills, such as communication skills. As part of my role, I interacted with external individuals such as supporters or volunteers, which provided valuable experience in public-facing interactions.

We have events where we can volunteer to support our cause! There are also opportunities to attend training conferences or networking events to increase your knowledge and connect others in your field.

Absolutely! Alzheimer's Society is a great place to work and offers a fantastic work-life balance. The Society invests in your professional and personal development and supports your career aspirations. Lastly, Alzheimer's Society is a "Family Friendly" employer that has many policies and benefits to support colleagues and their families!

I would suggest to take the time to research the organisations mission and values and ensure it aligns with your own. Don't be afraid to join from a different field as there will be many transferrable skills you have that can be applied in a charity organisation. Also show your passion for helping others, making a difference and contributing to positive change!
