My duties involved proofreading and editing extremely varied documents (from website copy to long-form fiction) to ensure they were of the highest possible quality, which was a task that required me to demonstrate a meticulous eye for detail and a high level of organisation. As part of this, I was responsible for the general administration of projects, using the Microsoft Office suite, InDesign, Gmail and Google Docs to ensure all work was logged and carried out efficiently and according to deadlines. My responsibilities also included liaising with clients on a regular basis and balancing numerous projects at once, supporting other members of the team whenever required. I also took responsibility for the company's social media channels (Twitter, Facebook) and monthly newsletters, demonstrating my ability to engage with clients across a number of platforms.

I freelanced as a proofreader, editor and copywriter for two years. This period of freelance work required me to be extremely self-motivated and driven, demonstrating my ability to work independently, adhere to deadlines and maintain a professional attitude to my work and communications with clients.

My role at Superact required me to administrate the Bandstand Marathon project, a community-led initiative that saw free musical concerts take place across the country over a single weekend. This role required careful and meticulous administration of the event, including the maintenance of a database of events and our contacts on the ground. The position also saw me serve as the first point of contact for the volunteers who were working on the concerts on the ground, and I had to be friendly, enthusiastic and approachable, ensuring that everyone who got in touch received the information they were seeking and were supported and empowered to make their event a success. I was also in charge of coordinating the procurement and dispatch of materials for the volunteers, which required me to serve as the liaison between suppliers and members of the Superact team.

This position saw me support the Children's Social Care team at Somerset County Council. I was responsible for maintaining the client database, taking minutes and serving as a first point of contact for people aiming to reach the social work team. Due to the highly sensitive and emotionally charged nature of social work, this position required me to demonstrate considerable resilience and compassion when dealing with members of the public, calmly dealing with crisis situations as I aimed to resolve enquiries and ensure individuals were dealt with appropriately.
