In my role I deal with the whole of Operational Services. I reconcile accounts, deal with ad hoc queries and analyse budgets – presenting my findings to the Head of Department at the end of every month. It’s quite challenging, having to understand the remit of the department, as well as getting to grips with all the suppliers and contracts that they have, but it’s definitely rewarding.
The programme is really well organised and the culture’s fast-paced but supportive. It feels as if everyone’s there to help you learn and get the most out of your time at the FSA. It also helps that the salary and annual leave are competitive, and, as long as you get your work done, they’re quite flexible with how you manage your time.
