About

I am the P&C Operations Specialist at SoftwareOne UK/I and proud to work with an amazing hardworking team of people. With my HR and payroll background SoftwareOne will motivate me to excel and challenge myself further in this fast paced expanding company. As a previous HR Administrator and Facilities Management at Republic Technologies, a small FMCG company, I was responsible for all aspects of human resources and facilities management, including recruitment, payroll, training, compliance, health and safety, and office maintenance. I had been in this role for over a year, and enjoyed the challenge and variety of tasks that I handled on a daily basis. I have also been working as a Personal Assistant and Office Manager for Sir William Ramsay School Academy Trust for 16 years, supporting four different headteachers with diary management, correspondence, budgeting, reporting, and event planning. I have developed strong skills in office administration, communication, organization, and time management, all recruitment and HR related matters as well as a passion for education and learning. I am a highly organized and conscientious worker, who values collaboration, professionalism, and excellence.
