The Role
I really enjoyed the opportunity to work with such an enthusiastic and welcoming team. They are all really dedicated to the work that they do and it was great to be a part of it.
I was constantly challenged and given new opportunities by the team and felt like the appreciated the time and effort that I put in.
My manager was really helpful and supportive with all the projects and in answering any questions. I was also given input into my own development and the kind of projects I would like to do.
This really varied depending on the projects/what other work commitments I had going on.
I was given the opportunity to take ownership of some projects - this was a really great experience.
The skills developed have already helped me to obtain a role within another charitable organisationworking within marketing.
