Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Day to day you get tasks assigned from your manager and over arching projects that run over the course of the 8 weeks. Typically lots of zoom calls with other members of your team as well as independent learning and working done within a day.
There is an intern project that also is worked on that allows bonds to form with other interns in your department.

It is very independent, meaning that you are expected to manage your own diary and set up meetings which feels like a lot of responsibility.

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to NatWest Group
Be yourself and express your alignment to the values of NatWest!
The culture is very friendly and about being curious and wanting to learn, so definitely be passionate and collaborative in the assessment centre.
If you dont study HR try to think of any personal experiences you may have that could link into the role (ie. A role within a society you may do, or any job/ volunteer experience you may have)
