Managing all aspects of HR for the business in a stand-alone capacity.

Contract role supporting the People team and business on HR projects including hiring, onboarding, policies and benefits.

A tremendous experience which gave me a challenging hybrid role as Business Partner to several key clients, managing projects and responsibility for HR operations across the business. A lot of focus on strengths and how to get the best out of people, working with a brilliant boss who really helped me get out of my own way and do some great things.

An eye-opening experience into Global HR working in a true corporate environment. Some great opportunities including global projects, developing my own team and enhancing my training skills such as writing and delivering recruitment training for the US, UK and Hong Kong business teams. Ultimately the culture wasn’t quite me but working here certainly taught me a lot about communication, adaptability and resilience.

My longest stint and where I grew up in HR. A fantastic time where I developed into a stand alone managerial role with great support internally and externally, and where I completed my MA in HRM. Latterly I had much influence on company values, development programmes, job evaluation and remuneration. A real ‘test & learn’ environment. After nearly 7 years it was time to leave and I headed to the bright lights of London.

I mastered Payroll, a much undervalued skill. Surprisingly this role really helped me at PhotoBox having run a weekly payroll for 1000 temps I could honestly say to my PBX team our payroll really isn’t that big!

An all-rounder; PA, Payroll, Admin. My first introduction into the world of recruitment.

Varied admin roles from Finance and billing schools for buses to approving dropped kerb applications, with some strategic weapon calibration admin thrown in for good measure. A good appreciation of public sector life.
