  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • As I had such a wonderful time on my placement I would love to get a job back there once I have finished at University. I have been contacted by a member of the Human Resources Team to say they wish to keep in contact with me to give me information on future employment opportunities with them. My details were also placed onto their talent system which is specifically for students and temporary personnel whom they wish to work with again in the future.

    The Culture
