What I liked
I loved building therapeutic relationships with the service users and making a difference to benefit their lives and experience.

HEALTHCARE ASSISTANT
June - September 2019 • London, England
What I liked
- Rewarding
- Informative
- Helped to inform career path. `Experience strengthened my passion for paediatrics - I am much more likely to explore this as a potential speciality after graduation.
What I wish was different
- Spent more time in this department.
- Could have continued long term. Due to distance (London to Liverpool) - not really feasible.
- Made use of all the opportunities available to me i.e. option to attend courses in paediatric phlebotomy and palliative care.
Advice
If you have the option to take up a summer job which will inform your future career path - do it!
The experience will also be a great addition to your CV which might aid in securing a graduate position once you finish your degree.
