Oh wow, what a year! Let's dive in this September...
September has been a busy and productive month for me, receiving some fantastic news about being shortlisted as a rising star with JCI Manchester and Finalised for Apprentice of the Year Rochdale Business Awards, I am literally kicking my feet and squealing right now What amazing news!!!! This month has been full of new challenges, achievements, and learning opportunities, my role has expanded into various areas, from creating social media content to working on recruitment campaigns and even contributing to podcasts. Here’s a look back at what I’ve been up to this month.
Week 1:
The month began with setting important tasks. I had a one-on-one with Ruth to finalise our e-poster by finally sending them off and planning out a marketing strategy. One highlight was creating a set of top tips for CV making, which I then shared on social media. These posts aimed to help job seekers enhance their chances of success during recruitment.
I also began working on interview tips and prepared for sexual health awareness content. Another exciting project was writing a bio for the upcoming awards, which involved collaboration and feedback from Ruth. Additionally, I started working on a storyboard report and delved into a Google Analytics course to enhance my skills.
Week 2:
In the second week, I spent time working on a variety of content, including Wellness Wednesday posts, interview and CV tips, and social media templates. A significant part of my week was dedicated to case studies by arranging visits to Windermere GP surgery with Rachel and gaining information from the people we have successfully recruited face-to-face, my role was to ask questions about the process of how they got their role within Primary Care when doing this I mostly record with voice memos and then listen to it when I get back to the office and write what was said down which is so much easier in case I have missed any key information out. Then I worked on transcribing voice memos for Owode’s story and started writing a blog post based on that. I also focused on improving Shamima’s case study, giving it more clarity and coherence.
This week, I also began preparing for a recruitment campaign video, which involved scripting, filming, and editing the “We Are Hiring” content. I was able to collaborate with several team members to finalise and send off posters for various campaigns.
Week 3:
Week 3 was packed with planning for upcoming events and completing multiple tasks. I took part in a job fair, where I not only captured photos and videos but also posted about the event on social media. This was a great experience to connect with people and promote our job vacancies.
I spent a good portion of the week listening to voice memos from case studies, including Azra, Scarlet, and Mandy, and turning those transcripts into readable stories. This allowed me to dive deeper into storytelling, making sure the case studies were engaging and impactful.
Week 4:
As the month continued, I moved forward with plans for a diabetes podcast. I coordinated with Lori, and Zoe to find suitable speakers and worked on securing locations for filming. Another exciting development was receiving a shortlist nomination for the Rochdale Award, which was a proud moment for the team and me.
I also started working on content for World Homeless Day, which included creating posters, organizing a donation drive, and collaborating with Elaine to bring awareness to the cause. Alongside this, I worked on new recruitment strategies and continued refining content for social media.
Closing September:
By the end of the month, I had completed multiple blogs, including a story for Scarlet, and posted them across social media. I finalised posters for upcoming events, including World Homeless Day and flu jab awareness, for our HART nurses. While also taking part in planning for the next podcast episode.
This month has been incredibly rewarding, filled with opportunities to develop my content creation skills while contributing to meaningful projects. I’m looking forward to October, where new challenges and exciting projects await.
