Overview of Role

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

I co-ordinated Return to Office for the Barclays Platforms Team, working closely with the rest of the Business Management team. I gathered information from Real Estate and Group Technology, surveyed Return to Office requirements/preferences for employees and prepared presentations for Senior Leadership weekly.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was very lucky that my line manager and head of department were very trusting in me. I was given the opportunity to present to senior management regularly and I always felt my role was meaningful and made a difference.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
