The Fed is one of the largest employers’ associations in Europe, supporting over 10,000 independent retailers and small businesses across the UK and Ireland. The responsibilities within this job is so broad.

The responsibilities within this job is so broad. I write articles and letters to MPs concerning the struggles businesses face on a day-to-day basis, whether in response to any recent policy or just in general. I also assist in policy research on issues such as retail crime, cost of living and businesses rates. This internship has enabled me to develop my written and oral communication skills significantly as well as offering strong commercial insight into working with independent retailers. I have just been offered the opportunity to work for the Fed again, commencing November 2023 and contracted to finish in May 2024.

Summer holidays of 2022 – (1st of July to the 21st of September): I continued working as a housekeeper at Soar Mill Cove Hotel. Working in a 4-star hotel required me to be incredibly attentive in cleaning and preparing the rooms for each guest’s satisfaction. I was also able to demonstrate such when I became a waitress in the evening shifts for the hotel, in which I gained experience in taking orders, clearing and running. This enabled me to strengthen my customer service skills significantly. Show less Easter holidays of 2022 (March and April): I worked as a housekeeper at Soar Mill Cove Hotel.

Furthermore, the role required strong communication skills, dealing with customers both personally and indirectly, through various social media platforms. Furthermore, in order to maximize sales opportunities for the charity, it was my role to encourage donations and sufficiently train volunteers. Another aspect of the job involved finances. This included cashing up and reporting takings to Head Office as well as banking cheques. Thus, the job required great financial responsibility as well.
