My line manager provided much support and guidance throughout my placement year as we had regular check in and catch ups on my current projects that I was working on / my personal development goals I wanted to achieve at Baxter
I also frequently met my line manager in person through team meetings / product training / conferences and in the office to discuss my activity and if I needed any support.
My line manager went above and beyond throughout the year to make feel comfortable and well supported in my first marketing role !

One of Baxter's cultural levers is collaboration which shows as everyone I have reached out to and worked with has been incredibly helpful and supportive. Throughout the three teams I have been involved in everyone is friendly and welcoming. Coming to the end of my placement I feel valued, respected and appreciated among my colleagues. I didn't feel like a placement student I felt like I was part of the team and I will miss my colleagues at Baxter when I return to university.

Joining Baxter in June 2023 as part of the placement has been the best career choice I have ever made. I did not know much about the healthcare sector but this journey has been an amazing experience. I have attended an international conference in Sweden, I have had product training on medical devices that save lives in the operating room and I have had the privilege to work alongside some incredible people. I have loved this placement scheme and I want to work for Baxter after university !
