Overview of Role

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

Supporting the Business Partners and the Talent and Acquisition team. Handling absence stats and communicating that out to managers etc. Supporting the other interns during their year. Involved in both the apprentice and intern recruitment processes and interviews.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes I was given plenty of responsibility. It felt like having a real job rather than just classic intern jobs. I was given the opportunity to make my own decisions where possible and and also give my opinion on important cases such as disciplinaries. I was able to take training and work on important policies where my voice was heard.

Skills Development

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

Yes I had plenty of opportunities to develop new and existing skills including time management, self confidence, organisation and my people skills in general. I learnt how to interview on my own and also learnt a lot about what it means to be in HR in a Manufacturing company.

I was very supported. My manager was always there when I needed it even when she was incredibly busy and checked in with me every week to make sure I was okay and had all of the support I needed.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

I would say it has a very relaxed culture compared to some other companies. Hierarchy isn't incredibly important and everyone is treated equally. The atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly.
