Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

On a day to day basis, i work on audits that are usually allocated on a weekly basis. As a placement student , we are allocated audits working alongside seniors. As we progress, we then slowly partake in audits with less support , performing these independently.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

During the settle in period, there is a lot of support available, however as you progress, the responsibility increases greatly. This is especially demonstrated whilst performing audits independently.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
