    The Role

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

    • It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. It has been extremely beneficial in preparing me for work in a large organisation and I have improved and gained many new skills.

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

    • I felt like a key member of the team. My suggestions were listened too and appreciated and I was actively encouraged to be proactive and offer my ideas to discussions.

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

    • I received regular feedback by both my senior manager and day to day manager. The feedback was always constructive with the aim of improving my skills for work after the placement not just whilst on it.

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

    • There is always lots to do, I was never bored. There are opportunities to pick up work outside of the immediate team also. The workload does not make you feel over stressed and if it was getting too much there is always someone to offer help or guidance.
