I have been working for the NHS, mostly within The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, for nearly 10 years. I started my journey in 2009 as a Management Office Apprentice and am now working as a Governance Support Officer. Working for the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital has been very rewarding and has offered many opportunities.
This is my story so far...

What does the future hold?
I am now working in a Band 5 Role and my future aspirations are to apply to the Human Resources NHS Graduate Management Training Scheme at a Band 7, to gain more experience in HR and eventually become an HR Director. Working in the NHS has provided me with many opportunities to succeed and further my personal development, through funded learning and a wealth of experience.
