Meet Robyn Churchill – HR Assistant at Peterborough & Stamford Hospitals

Robyn Churchill was unemployed for 7 months before starting work on 1st March at Peterborough & Stamford Hospitals as a HR Assistant.

“Getting this opportunity means I get the experience required to help me progress towards a full time employment post. During my placement I hope to be able to gain relevant experience within an office environment, build my telephone skills.”

“My job role as a HR Assistant requires me to deal with inquiries over phone and face to face with members of the public, I am responsible for booking staff onto training courses, I input data onto the databases, help organise the hospitals play scheme and I have been involved in helping the hospital get ready for the move to their new premises.”

“The people I work with have been great. They are all so nice and have made me feel so welcome. They have provided me with plenty of work to keep me challenged and have even given me my own projects to run and maintain.”

If you could recommend this scheme to other unemployed people, what would you say to them? “I have already tried recommending the Future Jobs Fund scheme to some of my friends but later found out that Middlesbrough do not have the project there yet. I would recommend this scheme as a great opportunity to any one who is unemployed as a great chance to progress your work knowledge and give you a better chance to gain full time employment in the future.”
