Provision of Training
I will assist you with aspects of your technical training together with experienced lab members, but will expect you to independently problem-solve appropriate methods and changes to methodology.
Progression Monitoring and Management
I will provide advice and guidance to help you reach the goals you set for yourself, but we will always discuss a plan of action together and I will encourage you to reach your full potential.
Communication
I will expect you to manage your work/life balance, but I am happy to discuss any issues that are impacting your ability to fulfil your potential or my/our expectations.
