The Role
I am really enjoying the placement, I feel supported and well challenged throughout my time.
I was introduced at the beginning and offered support with work and placement life in general.
I am given regular feedback that is constructive and beneficial to my professional development.
I never felt overworked however there were few times where I felt I had truly nothing to do.
I felt like a valued member of the team in all the work that I did.
It was a great first exposure to a professional work place and I'm sure I will use the skills I have learnt for many years to come
The Company

There was lots of support material as well as people to speak to.

The Culture
There was a lot of students here and everyone felt pretty close.
