Mini Boucher at RDT for the day

Today we were very lucky to have a little helper in the office! Sophia Boucher was here with her Dad (Michael Boucher, our Group Product Owner) for a school project!

July Employee Spotlight - Ellen Barnes

Ellen Barnes - Administration Assistant

I was close to finishing university when I applied for RDT’s apprenticeship role. I was soon contacted and they asked if I would be willing to attend an interview. My issue at that moment was that I was still in Newcastle finishing my studies, so travelling down to Kent was difficult.

RDT were nice enough to work around my needs and we arranged a Skype interview. It went really well, and then after finishing university I was invited to the office for a second interview. I spent a few hours meeting people from all the departments that I would be working with and had the chance to really relax and be myself, which was great, and a few days later I had a call and was told that the job was mine!

Summer internship assessment day at RDT

Yesterday we had seven candidates for our summer internship in the office with us. They each went through several interviews and activities that we had planned for them to assess them for the role.

Our summer internships give undergraduates experience in the software development and insurance industry and help prepare them for their future in employment, while also giving our staff some assistance throughout the busy summer period.
