The Role
Great placement in a small team which means you can get involved socially.
Felt valued by the team as I assisted them and carried through my own projects.
Happy to sit down and offer help or guidance whenever necessary.
Always peaks and trough in property management, however, there were also other projects which meant I always had a steady stream of work to occupy me with.
Carried out projects and dealt with management queries myself.
excellent year, which I am sure will assist me with my further studies
The Company

very good. counts towards my apc and had my 6 monthly review with my supervisor etc.

The Culture
20 other IP's from other departments also work in the office. I lived with 3 others. everyone becomes mates and go out on socials.
it is pricey but you could argue living in London means it is worth it.
laods of pubs, bars and clubs only in the area nad more in just a short tube trip away to central.
loads that you find out from the team and magazines like time out.
