GOOD LEARNING EXPERIEINCES SO FAR BUT WITH NO PAY, IT MAKES LIFE DIFFICUTL
MOSTLY VALUED, MOST PEOPLE TRUSTED IN ME AND GAVE ME OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN
I HAVE FELT WELL SUPPORTED THROUGH OUT MY MOST OF MY SUPERVISIORS.
REGLUARLY BUSY AS I IN A PSYCHIATRIC PATIENT ENVIROMENT
I FELT I WAS GIVEN AS MUCH RESPONSIBILITY APPROPRIATE TO MY LEARNING.
I FELT MY LEARNING WAS FAR MORE VALUABLE THAN MY DEGREE LEARNING AS IT WAS FIRST HAND.
The Company
MOSTLY GOOD BUT YOU ALWAYS GET ONE OR TWO WHO DON'T PULL WITH THE TEAM.
PRETTY WELL ORGANISED, MY SUPERVISORS KEPT ON TOP OF PROVIDING WORK FOR ME IF I FELT I HAD NOTHING TO DO.
NHS FUNED COURSE AND THEY PROVIDED TRAININGS SUITABLE TO MENTAL HEALTH
Flexi Time

Company Parties/Events
VERY APPEALING BUT NHS IS UNDERPAIND FOR A BEGINNNER
The Culture
MOSTLY YES, WE ALL SUPPORTED EACHOTHER AND HUNG OUT TOGETHER SOCIALLY.
500 POUNDS PER MONTH RENT, SOCIALISING 100 POSSIBLY
