Customer-focused operations specialist delivering empathetic, compliant service.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated operations and customer service professional with progressive experience across healthcare, retail, and financial services. I deliver dependable, consistent support while anticipating challenges and driving improvements.
At Virgin Money I provide expert mortgage support, handling complex enquiries with accuracy and regulatory compliance. I have handled high-volume inbound contact roles for NHS England and worked on sensitive patient and public-facing issues while maintaining data protection standards.
Previously I coordinated medical office operations at a private clinic and supervised retail operations at Waitrose, where I led partner engagement, compliance checks, and created regular internal communications. I combine strong interpersonal skills with administrative and system proficiency to improve processes and customer experience.
I am proactive, empathetic, and results-driven, seeking roles where I can apply leadership, problem-solving, and service excellence to support organisational goals and deliver measurable improvements.
