Work history
Senior Legal Assistant
Fosters Solicitors
2025.11 - 2026.05
- I am currently working at Fosters Solicitors as a Senior Legal Assistant in the residential conveyancing department. My role includes issuing contracts, liaising with clients, estate agents and other solicitors, managing enquiries, preparing financial packs, and ensuring deadlines are met.
GP Assistant
Trinity and Bowthorpe Medical Practice
2025.05 - 2025.11
Dental Nurse
Beechcroft Dental Practice
2022.11 - 2025.02
- At Beechcroft as a Trainee Dental Nurse, I assisted the Dentists with each procedure from check-ups to more complicated procedures such as fillings, extractions, root canals etc. I also would assist with the receptionist tasks and appointment bookings.
Therapeutic Care Worker and Key Worker
Childhood First
2021.03 - 2022.08
- My role at Childhood First was very rewarding and unique. Childhood First is a charity which works to integrate children who have been through significant trauma and neglect into therapeutic residential communities to provide them with the best care and treatment programs. My responsibility was to look after 8 young people aged between 10 and 18, to provide them with the best care to ensure they have a healthy and loving upbringing and to care for their wellbeing to help them achieve their full potential.
Senior Sales Negotiator
William H Brown
2020.09 - 2021.02
- As a Senior Sales Negotiator, my role was very busy with a lot of Key Performance Indicators set for myself and for my office. Daily tasks involved arranging property appraisals, mortgage appointments, booking property viewings, and liaising with clients about their property sales and any additional legal services. I arranged meetings with the staff to go through our objectives for the day and discuss any outstanding issues to ensure all relevant knowledge was shared. A major aspect of my role involved seeing sales through from the offer through to completion. I worked closely with solicitors and clients, involving all parties to ensure a smooth moving process.
Lettings Negotiator
Abbotfox
2020.01 - 2020.09
- I worked in a very busy and exciting office. It was different to the roles I had been in within an estate agent before as I dealt with many different scenarios whilst working there. It was a good to gain the knowledge and confidence of dealing with stressful and often emotional situations involving landlords, tenants and their families, particularly when working with the complexities of legal agreements.
Lettings Negotiator
Millbank Estate Agents
2018.10 - 2020.01
- My role at Millbanks was my first experience of working in Lettings, and it was a fantastic office to be a part of. My main responsibilities were to arrange and carry out property viewings, inspections, and liaise with the Landlord and prospective tenant the new tenancy. I valued new properties, met new clients and created a stronger department. It was my responsibility to take care of listing new properties, taking and editing the property photographs, and managing the Lettings department accounts.
Sales Negotiator
Haart Estate Agents
2018.06 - 2018.09
- My daily role involved liaising with clients and applicants, arranging viewings, negotiating the sales of the properties and seeking new clientele. I had specific targets to meet daily, monthly, and weekly. I also dealt with a lot of the administration in the office, loading the property details to the system, editing, and uploading the images of properties, drawing up legal documents including offers and sales memorandums and using excel spreadsheets and Microsoft Word.
Renewals lettings coordinator
Sequence Homes
2016.11 - 2018.06
- I worked for Sequence homes as a renewal coordinator for 19 months. My role was to negotiate tenancy agreement extensions when they are due to expire, and to secure a new fixed term agreement. My experience in the company helped me gain a lot of administration skills, as I worked with various databases. My role entailed answering calls, making outbound calls to landlords, tenants and other offices and drawing up legal documents.
