Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I support the marketing team working along side product managers and a marketing graduate. Day to day, I make sure marketing materials are compliantly created and approved working with external agencies that help with design. I send lots of internal communications including a monthly newsletter and promotion of our internal Be Well campaign which the students are entirely responsible for.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
The health care industry every role has responsibility. My manager has been supportive towards helping me find projects that are of the right level of responsibility.
