About Me

Hello! Welcome to my blog! I am currently on a 12 month work placement with the NHS as part of my Business Studies Degree at Sheffield Hallam University. I am working at the Eastern Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group(ECCCG) as the Transformation Programme Support Officer. As part of my role I will be working alongside the Strategy and Transformation team at the Clinical Commissioning Group(CCG), who are working towards joining up care for the local population through the Caring Together Programme.

HR experience!

4th-15th January 2016

I hope that you all had a great Christmas and New Year and enjoyed your celebrations!

After having a lovely break myself over the Christmas period catching up with family and friends it was time once again to get back to the CCG. I was very busy at the beginning of the week catching up on things that I had missed over my time away and also getting up to date on all those emails in my inbox!

This week I have been involved in the process of shortlisting candidates for the next student placement role which is due to start in the summer. Myself along with Katie Hall, the placement student within the business team, came together to start to decide which candidates we felt would be suitable to take through to the next stage of the process. It was a real insight for me to see what it is like on the other side of the recruitment process as this time last year I was nervously waiting to see if I would go through to the interview stage. Being a part of the process has really helped me to appreciate how long each of the different stages of the recruitment process take and also what employers are looking for when going through the shortlisting process. I really think that in the future this will be something I may pursuit and look at taking a HR module as one of my final year modules at university.

Also since coming back after the Christmas break I have been more heavily involved with the day-to-day tasks and duties of the Project Management Office (PMO).  It is really beneficial for me to be involved heavily in another team at the CCG as it is broadening my knowledge and giving me exposure to different areas of the business. The skills and knowledge that I learn will be transferable to both when I go back to university and work on projects and also in my future career.

It was also time this week to get back into my PRINCE 2 revision as my exam is not too far away now. I have really enjoyed learning a new concept and all of the different elements that are involved within it. Also by completing the course at this time helps me massively as I am taking on more responsibilities within the PMO going forward.
