The Role
I really enjoyed my internship.
I was made to feel very welcome and valued by my colleagues
The support was fantastic, with weekly one-to-one meetings throughout the internship.
I was given responsibility for many tasks day-to-day.
I was trusted to work independently and with initiative.
The skills I have learnt can be applied to anything I do in the future.
The Company
The general atmosphere in the office was welcoming and positive.
The internship scheme is very well organised and structured.
In addition to the experience of my day-to-day role there were many opportunities to develop further through talks, presentations and volunteering events.
Company Parties/Events
Healthcare from home
Future prospects are very appealing.
The Culture
There were several events organised by the company to allow good networking between interns and with more experienced members of staff.
The cost of living and socialising was reasonable.
Very good nightlife.
There were many clubs/groups and volunteering activities on offer.
