  Administration Assistant

  Shortly after completing my MA I was offered and accepted a temporary position at this Rothschild property where I quickly became an important part of the team. Christmas is an incredibly busy time of year for Waddesdon Manor and I excelled myself in customer service and teamwork, helping to support my colleagues during this time. I continued at Waddesdon Manor in a part-time, sporadic capacity throughout the majority of 2012, helping to relieve the pressure of a busy summer season. During July I was asked to stand in for my line manager for two weeks while she took annual leave.I was also offered to cover my line manager's maternity leave between June 2012 and April 2013 but was unable to take up the position because of my plans to travel in South America.
