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

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

    • I was allocated a mentor after being job offered which enabled me to establish a relationship before commencing my role. I received consistent support throughout the duration of my placement which was particularly useful when I faced challenging situations or needed some guidance.

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

    • I was consistently challenged within my role and was keen to take on as much responsibility as possible. When I approached my mentor to ask for more work they we're able to set further challenges which enabled me to develop.
