Meet Immaculate, a corporate social responsibility apprentice

“In my role, I focus on the social value side of corporate responsibility. I spend my days engaging with the community, meeting with local government and supporting charities with fundraising events – to give you an idea! “I really love how much I get to speak with people day to day and just showing them what we get up to and the positive impact our project is making.” What does a CSR apprentice do? Immaculate works as part of the sustainability team in our Kier Places business; specifically on the Quiter Neighbour Support Scheme in partnership with Heathrow Airport Limited. “No week is ever the same and I really like that, “We have close contacts with the local government and talk about ways we can increase participation within the communities and school children and help them see more of the job opportunities that are available in construction, “One of my favourite things to do at work is to organise events like volunteering days for the team or preparing how we’re going to support at school career fairs, “It can be a real variety of volunteering too. Last year we supported a local food bank, sorting different products and sharing with individuals or families who are in need, “And we also support with things like decorating the local communities for Christmas. We made lots of festive bows that went up on lampposts across town and it was so fun.”
