My role serves all Focus offices supporting the Partners, and the wider management team. Since starting with Focus in early 2015, when I left Financial Services, I have moved from supporting the Leicester ASSESS team, co-ordinating onsite testing services, to broader corporate management duties. These include internal and external communications, tender management, MI reporting, HR and Health and Safety matters, personal development co-ordination and systems / policy maintenance, including certification under ISO9001 and 14001.

I enjoy a hugely varied workload and interaction with all staff and Partners, giving me an overview of business-wide operations. New challenges present regularly – requiring flexibility to learn and adapt, and a positive attitude! The Focus team encouraged me to offer input on working practice and corporate matters from day one, and enabled a degree of autonomy that has helped me to grow in a role that continues to develop.
