Overview of Role

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

The role has a very wide scope of what's done on a day-to-day basis, from writing articles, producing the newsletter, filming and editing videos, creating posters, sending site-wide emails and more.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

At the beginning my manager guided me on how to approach the work but after a couple of months I was given a great opportunity to lead and run my own projects. As there was only two of us running the internal communications on site when my manager was on holiday I ran the communications on my own, but got support from others if I needed it.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

My line manager gave me a lot of support and guidance throughout the entirety of placement. If my manager was away I could turn to the rest of my team or early talent for help.
