The Role
I have very much enjoyed it, I would highly reccomend the company without a doubt.
I have never been made to feel so welcome before. My team were fantastic and very supportive!
I was given a great deal of support and coached.
I was very busy alot of the time. Sometimes there was alot of pressure but it was never too much. I was never quiet is what i will say!
As I spent more time in the role i was given responsibilty that went far beyond what people normally do in the role.
I feel it’s been invaluable, i have learnt more than i thought possible.
The Company
It was a good mix of fun with the job. The team is a very vibrant one but it was serious at times also.
It was such a smooth process joining and this continued throughout. It was seamless in every sense of the word.
I went through a lot of training and things throughout the year to increase my skills. They invested a great deal in my learning.

The Culture
There is a big group of students so there is a good social scene.
It could be a little expensive, but not too bad!
The best you will get in High wycombe is Yates... it could be worse but its not fantastic.
There was lots to do!
