About

After 15 years’ experience of working within Government Departments, I am seeking a new opportunity in the public or private sector where I can utilise and build on my skills to develop my career. During my recent time as a policy manager I have worked on a wide range of policy areas and over that time I worked hard to develop a strong track record of designing, developing and implementing policy and strategic change projects. I do enjoy devising innovative solutions to difficult problems, but what I find really motivating is to actually get things done. I am an experienced team leader with recruitment and office workplace health and safety expertise. I have also managed contracts (£1m+) and research projects (£5m+), and handled confidential and commercial information.
