Summary

I have over 30 years office experience from receptionist to call centre associate. Skills range from all administrative type roles which consist of having great communication skills. As well as having patience and being able to actively listen. Overall experience is very wide from general office duties and support senior members of staff. In that time I have completed SVQ Level 3 Modern Apprenticeship, Providing Financial Services at SCQF Level 6. This helps with the support to the newer colleagues from a training perspective, and additional support to my manager.
