At Teach First I recruit incredible future leaders primarily for the 2 year Training Programme. Each year I help to deliver a cohort of ambitious trainee teachers who are committed to combatting educational inequality across the country.I help to provide a consistently high quality candidate experience throughout all parts of the recruitment journey. I tailor the support given to each candidate in order to ensure they remain supported, happy and committed throughout the processEverybody is dealing with incredibly difficult circumstances at the moment and I am so proud of each of my amazing trainees who will go on to make a massive difference to the lives of so many children throughout their careers.

Taking on a business development role within the family business was exciting and taught me a lot about how to negotiate effectively. The opportunity to be a part of something that I have grown up around was really special for me and It was an important part of my development as a person.

During my time in this role I learnt a lot about Management, the day to day running of a business and the importance of solid planning to bring continuous success. Managing a team of amazing people was something that I enjoyed thoroughly with Explore Learning.Working in an environment with children made every day fun, challenging and important. The education industry is one that is very engaging and rewarding to be a part of. Here I realised that I could inspire and build towards something greater than myself.

Strategic People was my first experience of a fast-paced recruitment environment.At Strategic People we provided boutique on-demand contract and permanent recruitment solutions in Technology and Business Change across a range of vertical markets including Financial Services, Insurance and Retail.I learnt a lot about the importance of expertise when dealing with clients and candidates. Hiring the wrong person for a role can cost a business thousands in training costs and lost time. I began to have conversations differently and saw that I was learning so much more about people than just what they were directly telling me. It is a skill that I now use every day.

This was a sales role that I undertook throughout my studies at college & university in order to support me financially and gain professional experience. I feel that I gained a fantastic knowledge of the retail industry, experienced sales and working towards ambitious targets, and learned a lot about the importance of leadership in the motivation of teams.

This was a position I sought out over a summer whilst studying at the University of Manchester in order to gain some industry experience. I was also working at Tesco at the time meaning for 4 months I was working 7 day weeks across both roles. This was a challenging experience but taught me a lot about resilience. I also learned a lot about balancing time across different projects and aspects of a business.
