TrainEEAST Administrator

I am currently the Administrator for TrainEEAST as well as covering for Lead IQA. I first started in the ambulance service back in 1995 when it was the East Anglian Ambulance, on the PTS side, leaving in 2004 to pursue a teaching career.

I completed my degree in Career Development and became a freelance school Careers Officer. I have been ideally situated to advise people who wanted to pursue a career of their own in the Ambulance Service. As I developed my own skills with my CPD, I became an Assessor, an IQA, a Lead IQA and then an EQA. I left teaching to come back to come back to what is now EEAST, as an Administrator.

Having an Office Manager qualification has been useful and enables me to keep track especially in my current position. I’ve been known as the ‘Spreadsheet Queen’! I love my job and helping others to achieve their full potential - this is especially useful when people want to know about our courses and how they can develop their skills further.
