      Coordinator

      As Coordinator I was responsible for the recruitment of expatriate teaching staff, handling all aspects of this process including advertising, interviewing, seeking references and making offers of employment. There are many English schools in the region and I was inevitably required to ‘sell’ ACE to applicants. I also managed the induction sessions for new teachers and was involved in their on-going professional development. In addition, I managed ACE’s General English Program, including making educational and logistical decisions and the resolution of student/staff complaints and disciplinary issues. Strong communication and time management skills were required, and also the ability to work towards organizational goals both independently and as part of the management team. My role included liaising with individuals at all levels of seniority, problem-solving, and logistical decisions and providing reports for Australian and New Zealand government departments regarding students in receipt of the AusAid and NZAid scholarships. I also liaised with students ranging from 10 to 50 years old, with the majority in the 17-22 age range. Show less

    • Association for Project Management

      Apr 2012 - now

      My responsibilities included organising all aspects of project management CPD events including venue, speaker and delegate arrangements. Working with local committees around the UK to plan and implement engagement strategies for project management practitioners, educators and students. This also included attendance at committee meeting and feeding into business plans and budgets. With multiple events being held/planned at any given time, the ability to organise and prioritise my time and workload was crucial. Verbal and written communication skills were also key as the role involved liaising with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and at all levels of seniority. Show less
