Overview of Role

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

Shadowing an existing team, and participating with their work where they deem it suitable. This enables hands-on learning and provides valuable work experience. Any work done is initially drafted, and reviewed by a more senior team member before being considered as complete.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Enough responsibility that I felt like a valuable team member making contributions to work, but any work carried out was reviewed by a more senior team member to reassure me that it was completed correctly

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
