Responsibilities
I had a lot of responsibility, managing accounts for multiple external partners and being accountable for the outcomes of my projects. i was given the support when needed, but encouraged to lead meetings and relationships myself.
Support & Guidance
Great support when i needed it, my placement manager and line manager were both always there if i needed help or support, whether it was work-related or pastoral, and supported me to go outside of my comfort zone and take ownership and accountability for what i worked on.
Culture
Company culture is amazing, I did a lot of shadowing and everyone across the business was willing to help and talk to me about their area and role, and show me what they did where appropriate. i had lot of support in teams i worked with and led from all over the business.
