What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a hands-on administrative role where I can apply strong organisation, case management and communication skills, work in a collaborative team (remote or onsite), improve processes, and take on increased operational responsibility.

I am a highly motivated administrative officer and virtual assistant with experience supporting government and private-sector clients. I deliver accurate case management, clear stakeholder communication, and dependable remote administrative support.

At the Home Office I managed high-volume immigration waiver applications, implemented a filing system that reduced retrieval times by 20% and improved case quality by 15%. I prepared reports, maintained digital tracking systems, and helped improve customer satisfaction by 30% through clearer guidance and follow-up; I also onboarded and trained new administrative staff.

I bring strong Microsoft Office skills, experience with project management and virtual collaboration tools, plus social media support and travel coordination experience. I'm seeking an administrative role where I can streamline processes and provide excellent client-facing support.
