The Role
Students were great and lots of support from the team and rest of the company
I was always encouraged to put forward my own ideas and take control of my own projects.
My team always encouraged openess and communication in order to make sure that the job was done well and the team functioned to its best.
Never a dull day, surprisingly a full time respected role which means you cannot be bored or not busy as things have to be done.
I was given full control over the recruitment of the industrial placement students for 2011 -2012. In total i hired 16 students. Not only this but it was my project to co-ordinate the olympic engagement activities across the company.
I was allowed to attend any course i felt would benefit be and learnt how to truly prevail in an organisation. I always thought that i was a well organised and efficient person anyway, but realise now that this was nothing compared to my business acumen i have delveloped now.
The Company
HR is a small office, limited people and not often busy with footfall, however my team spruced things up on dull days.
Sadly, my team faced some difficulties during my time, which resulted in only me being left which of course meant that there was some disorganisation however the rest of the HR department helped me to cope with this.
A lot, they always encouraged me to do things alone and change things were i saw fit (within reason). In fact, i also got to attend courses which some students probably wouldn't have been able to in other organisations.

Good, however i have had such a well rounded experience within the HR department I would like to experience another company to contrast to.
The Culture
This makes the placement that little bit extra, and my experience was so great that I used this as the selling point to prospective industrial placement students during the recruitment process for my job.
Average really for a university town. Live in reading and it is much better than Bracknell.
Bracknell poor, Reading Great!!
We often went out for work lunch / tea / drinks and external activities (charity events on weekends) days out to London etc.
