Summary

I am a motivated and organised individual with a proactive attitude. I work well in a team but am not afraid to work alone. Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook and Publisher. Many years administrative experience ranging from finance work where precision is key and customer confidentiality is paramount to currently being a PA for the Leadership Team and being adept at multitasking and taking initiative. Experience of working with children and young people, parents, professionals and outside agencies, demonstrating high-level communication and resilience under pressure. Dealing with students often requires tact and empathy to gain their trust and confidence in you, this is a skill most useful when dealing with the public. I am a quick learner and always have a professional and friendly manner. I always go the extra mile to get the job done and if I don’t immediately know the answer I will research until I do, in 2023 I was awarded Problem Solver of the Year. It was nice to be recognised as I don’t see that I do anything out of the ordinary, I just want to do my job well.
