    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • The internship was really enjoyable and there was always something going on to get involved in.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • My team were really welcoming from the beginning. It was nice to have a wider intern family too.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My manager, as well as my mentor, other members of my team, fellow interns and other colleagues were all supportive and gave guidance whenever I asked. No question was too small and I always knew I would be supported no matter what.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was busy enough but always with the same things. It might have been nice to have been stretched a bit. Saying this, feeding this back to my manager has meant it should improve the situation for the following intern, which is a really positive thing!

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given a good level of responsibility, although it would have been nice to have more.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The skills I have developed are invaluable to my future career, and my daily life.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Comfortable, busy and positive.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Well organised and well practised organisation, although feedback was always requested and I believe will be implemented.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • At times it felt like I was just filling in and doing excess workload. But we are encouraged to apply for roles at the charity after the internship and supported in these.

    4/5

    Working from home
