The Role
I was given a lot of different things to do everyday. I really enjoyed the people and the variety of work I had to do.
My work was constantly approved by people and I was always thanked and asked politely. My own interests were taken into account.
There was always someone I could ask for help. I had access to emails too and phone numbers to ring anyone I needed for more information.
I was very busy and had to travel all over London. I was often involved with various events and had to actively work with trainers and working with the children.
I had to single handedly organise events. I also had the opportunity to lead a tour of the Victoria and Albert Museum. I had a lot of responsibility but I always had support and my jobs were always enjoyable.
I received a lot of training, from public speaking to thinking about the commercial side of the charity. I feel that my skills were really developed because I had to take my own responsibility. I also had the opportunity to try a lot of new things. I feel that the transferrable skills will be relevant to any career choice I make.
The Company
Everyone was lovely and we all got on very well. We also had lunch time discussions. It was very easy to work in a team.
I was often moved to different departments and some days I didn't know what to do if my supervisor was not around. However there were always different jobs for me to do.
I was given a lot of training, but this was given to all staff, and not just the interns.
Flexi Time
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
There are various positions open and we often receive updates about other jobs which are relevant to the charity and its work.
The Culture
There were a lot of house parties and picnics in the park - provided by the charity.
Had to travel into Central London to find good nightlife! Kentish town is quite far out.
Lots of parties and picnics.
