The Role
Very enjoyable and professional place to work.
Felt more like a permanent full time employee and not just a student.
Support and guidance was always available.
Busy most of the time but balance was perfect as others were always willing to help and spread workloads.
Great amount of responsibility
The skills and personal development I have gone through will certainly help me in the future.
The Company
Was part of a great team making the job even more enjoyable.
Very well organised. Began work on the first day and had work to do throughout the entire year so overall it was perfectly structured.
More on-the-job training. Training programmes and qualifications are however available for graduates and permanent employees.
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Healthcare from home
I would be more than happy to work for the organisation if an opportunity came up.
The Culture
A range of organised activities and events for staff to attend.
A range of places to socialise so prices vary.
A range of bars and clubs in the area.
Have the choice of joining the companies cricket team.
