My role as a research Officer with the Birmingham city council

Birmingham City Council Internship

My role as a research Officer with the Birmingham city council involved talking with families, involved in social services,  about their experiences of the Family group Conference (FGC), a fairly new service offered the Birmingham city council; I collated both quantitative and qualitative data about family member’s experiences and outcome post-service. My responsibilities included generating telephone and face-to-face interview questions, creating further information handouts to leave with families, to contact families’ social workers and conduct interviews. I additionally had the opportunity to attend a FGC (this is a family decision making and planning process, facilitated by an Independent Co-ordinator) intervention meeting and a review meeting to understand the procedure.

My Experience with Atkins, London Euston

Ground Engineering internship

Earlier this year, I applied for the Scholarship position with Ground Engineering internship in London Euston with Atkins, a well-respected design and project management consultancy based in Epsom, Surrey. I heard about the company through a friend, who had previously applied for a different internship with them – after conducting some research I found an engineering based role suitable for a geologist and applied.
