There is a lot in your feedback that reflects what many people value day to day, especially flexible working, supportive teams and the chance to work across different projects. It is equally helpful to hear where things are not landing as well. Your comments around salary, progression and recognition for support roles highlight areas that can have a real impact on motivation and long term growth. These are conversations we continue to have across the business, particularly around making career paths more visible and development more accessible. Your suggestions around training and recognition are appreciated and help shape where we focus next.

It is good to hear that the projects and day to day culture have been a positive part of your experience. Enjoying the work itself and feeling part of a friendly team can make a real difference in a role like yours. Your comment about support not always being there when you need it is important. Feeling backed up, especially in a project leadership role, is key to delivering effectively and maintaining confidence. We continue to look at how we strengthen support networks, resourcing and communication across teams to ensure colleagues feel supported when it matters most.

It is great to hear that the culture and benefits have had a positive impact on your experience so far. A strong and supportive working environment is something we aim to build across all teams, so it is encouraging to see that reflected in your time as a degree apprentice. Your comment on progression is important. We recognise how important it is to see clear and timely development opportunities, particularly early in your career. This is something we continue to focus on as we look to strengthen pathways and support long term growth.
