I’m motivated by the recognition Spencer Clarke Group gives when succeeding, even little wins are always recognised! The work environment here is supportive and positive, which motivates me even more to succeed.

How would you describe working at Spencer Clarke Group?

Working at Spencer Clarke Group is a privilege. Working alongside so many talented and supportive professionals and having the encouragement I do from management means I wouldn’t want to work anywhere else.

Tell us about your career path so far.

I began my career as a Teaching Assistant in a large secondary school’s SEND department. From here I decided to complete my Primary Teaching qualification. My school experience led me down the path of education recruitment, supplying schools with Teachers and Teaching Assistants. I was then offered the role at Spencer Clarke Group and haven’t looked back since.

Where are we most likely to find you outside of work?

Outside of work, you will find me tucked up watching a film, out for food or on a walk with my dog, Bella.

Tell us something we’d never guess about you!

I’m a serious Blackburn Rovers fan, thanks to my Dad!

What’s next for you at Spencer Clarke Group?

I want to continue developing in my role and working with new clients. As I’m currently working on school facilities alone, my goal is to eventually grow and expand into a team of facility consultants working nationwide.
