The Role
It was very structured which was great as I was able to work to meet settargets.
I felt part of the team and that my contributions were appreciated.
My manager was supportive just very busy and it was sometimes a struggle to arrange time for us to plan our work.
I was busy with various tasks and my days flew past!
I was focused on one specific project and this was great as I was given the responsibility of coordinating most things connected to it.
Great experience within the charity sector and good contacts for the future.
The Company
Very busy but determination to succeed in the tasks that were being given to us all.
It is a national scheme so was very well planned out and support was provided at a national level as well as regional and local.
I was given training in public speaking and media skills but perhaps more could have been offered in the line of work I want to move into.
Subsidised Canteen
There are opportunities which look promising.
The Culture
We were split between offices but when we did meet up we got on very well.
Average.
Based about 10 miles from the city centre
Not really, we were all so busy at work that time to socialise didn't happen.
