The Role
At first I found it to be quite daunting, but as soon as I got to know my colleagues I felt much more relaxed and eager to get on with my job.
My colleagues are very approachable and there is good communication between us all. They reassure me when I am unconfident and they give me credit where it is due.
My management provided me with the necessary training I required in my first week at the job. This helped build my confidence.
It was a slow start but now that the ball is rolling, I am finding myself busy most days.
The team made sure I could help out where possible, which meant I was giving a variety of tasks to do.
The placement has helped me become a much more confident individual and has enabled me to add additional skills to my CV.
The Company
People are social in the office which makes it a pleasant environment to work in.
Most of my training was set up before I even stepped foot in the office so that was very helpful.

Healthcare/Dental
The organisation offered me a full time position shortly after my stint there.
The Culture
It is a very friendly and welcoming environment
Reasonably moderate near Baker Street, but slightly more expensive when heading near Bond Street.
I have not yet experienced the nightlife.
There are freelancing opportunites at this organisation.
