I have significant experience of dealing with multiple case loads, working in a pressurised environment and in dynamic situations, where it is necessary to adapt my response style depending on the nature of the situation.
I am experienced in supporting victims of crime, in often the most traumatic of circumstances, signposting and identifying safeguarding concerns and risks.
Communication and emotional awareness are key skills honed over the various different roles I have performed.
I am an organised and proactive individual, who can adapt quickly and cope with change. Polite, professional and friendly with everyone I have contact with. Confidentiality and discretion are extremely important to me and have been an essential part of my career.
