Our Intern
We are delighted to welcome Nicole to the team!
Nicole joins the team on a summer placement through The Robertson Trust.
I’m Nicole and I am a Social Work student studying in Scotland. I currently work in the housing sector for emergency homelessness although, I have worked within the care sector for over 10 years. I am a board member for Who Cares, which is an advocacy service provided for care experienced young people. I am interning with Housing Options Scotland this summer on placement as a scholar with the Robertson Trust. I am intrigued to know more about the amazing work that HOS carries out and look forward to working alongside the team.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and friends and my wee dog Leia. I love exploring Scotland, (what a beautiful place to be lucky enough to live!) mostly Munro’s and museums. I love music and art and enjoy spending my free time painting, I also love yoga and enjoy attending my local class.
