Sophie Hartley, 19, has been in the role for a year and finds it rewarding and fun.

She says: “The people I work with are lovely and supportive.

“They are good fun to be around and in the year I have been here I have built good working relationships with my customers too, which it a vital part of the role and adds to the job satisfaction.

“An important part of this job is that I am encouraged to come up with my own ideas and follow them through.

It makes what I do rewarding and I am given a lot of support from colleagues when I need it.”
