Andrew Sargent

"A dozen words can't do justice to the huge amount you learn and can take from an internship here."

Andrew did his internship in the Strategy Unit and worked on projects including patient engagement, business development and departmental reviews.

Here's what Andrew says about his internship:

" The Strategy Unit works across directorates so they are involved right across the organisation. The internship gave me a great insight into the way the charity is structured and run."

Achievements

"All interns had an event to organise together, training days out of the office and fundraising campaigns which developed great friendships. It was a great experience and something I'd do again in an instant.

"While working in the third sector is incredibly rewarding intrinsically, the internship also provides skills that are transferable to the commercial sector.

"I have developed my skills and worked with some great people who I hope to stay in touch with long after I leave.

"The internship has shown me that working on the strategic side of an organisation is a career path I may happily pursue and the great work environment I experienced is something I will hope to find again in the future.

"Overall, the internship has provided me with really great experience for the future."
