(Senior) Finance & Central Admin Assistant
At the end of my first year of university I took on a summer role as a finance and central admin (FACA) assistant - this involved facilitating recruitment and cashbook processes. I was then asked to continue my role, working 12 hours a week along side my studies and have recently been uplifted to a Senior Finance & Central Admin Assistant for this summer. As well as taking on more responsibilities over the last year, including posting job roles, completing more of the cashbook processes, booking rooms for interviews and creating an Asset Tracking System which has become crucial in our move from our current building to the next (Including using google webapps to allow staff to update asset details with ease) I have also developed my skills in creating macros to automate processes in google sheets and docs, including an updated cashbook system that automatically populates cells based on large data entries and automating google calendar invites, folder creation and email invites as part of our recruitment process.
Student Voice Assistant
In my first and second year of university, I have worked as a Student Voice Assistant for my Students' Union - this involves collating student feedback from course representatives from the School of Mechanical and Design Engineering and actioning this feedback to better the students. This could be as simple as facilitating student-academic communication or feeding back general issues such as workshop bookings not working. However, it also involves managing some larger projects such as a python-coding project for courses that are not explicitly taught it, this has been taken on by academics and I hope that the program gets the attention that it deserves. Another example is inviting Daniel Grundy JLR IIOM to come and give a talk on sustainability in the engineering industry which gave an insite into the role that obsolescence mangement has in the engineering world, something that I am personally interested in.
