Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
On an average working day I would be communicating with all the relevant people within the team to try to support customer journey through the ways we include our customers by providing them with all the relevant information required to make informed decisions about choosing us.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given so much responsibility and autonomy throughout the placement and allowed to explore different ideas without constant micro management. The independence and trust placed on me and my skills helped me to learn and develop at an accelerated rate. This also made my opinions and input feel valued and appreciated. My opinions were always regarded highly and I was free to explore these as I desired.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
My line manager provided me with continuous support as well as being given a grad talent manager. Having both a peer and senior person available for guidance gave me opportunity to go to different people dependent on the individual concern I had. The intern leader also offered great support. Everyone was just a teams message away throughout! Great Support throughout!

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoyed the whole of my placement- My line manager specifically made my experience along with the rest of the years intern cohort. These were great friends to me and supported me throughout- making the entire experience so fun! I did not however enjoy the remote learning and cost to travel to the office if I did want to work within the business. Provided accommodation could perfect the experience!
