With both employee and management experience, I communicate and work effectively at all levels

written work, have a keen eye for detail and approach new challenges with energy and
determination. My people skills allow me to build productive relationships with both internal and
external stakeholders and I feel very comfortable acting as an ambassador or first point of contact
for any organisation. I have a strong work ethic, earn respect quickly, accept additional
responsibility and exercise initiative without prompting. My experience has placed me in a number
of pressured work environments to which I have adapted quickly and confidently and I am content
to work alone or as part of a team.

authorities, advising on recruitment processes and procedures.
Liaise and advise on Safeguarding and Safer Recruitment.

line advice and guidance to schools on employment matters, and escalate where

As the garrisons in Germany are slowly closing I have also been involved with the redundancies of
all dependant staff in three of our schools from producing training packs designed to help find UK
employment, interview advice, these were then followed with employment briefs. For dependant
staff staying in Germany I then relocated them in roles in Paderborn on a like for like basis.
Currently we are providing UK Employment briefs to a Regiment due to move to the UK August
2015 this includes CV Writing, Application forms and interview tips, again the briefs have packs to
support the dependants with their move. The head of HR is now using this presentation and packs
as Best Practice.
3. Within my time at the LSU I have also created an Induction pack for new employees specifically
tailored to the school and Nurseries this consists of information on policies and procedures this
then makes all new staff aware of what is expected.
On a day a to day basis I use different two databases one is RLINK which is used for pay, absence
and all other HR requirements the other is report based, which we use for monitoring sickness
absence as this is the biggest cost to a business whether genuine or sporadic.
I am a good team player and will regularly cover other roles and help where needed especially
through sickness or holiday.
I have been involved in training and development of others so that we can identify internal people
to fill key business positions within the LSU; this is then evaluated using appraisals. This then
increases the availability of experienced people that are prepared to assume these roles as they
become available.
