I started my career with RBC Brewin Dolphin in May 2013 on a 6 month temporary contact, working on the verification team, after previously working on the fraud team at Santander.
It was a lovely environment to work in and after completing my induction and training period successfully I was able to thrive within the supportive team. After increasing my knowledge and skillset within the team I was able confidently interview for a 12 month contracted position which shortly turned into a permanent role. During my time on the team I was nominated to attend the emerging talent programme designed to help boast my skills and profile within the company. It was a great opportunity to strengthen my network connections and build my own personal brand within the firm. Being offered this development opportunity enabled my to utilize my skills and enhance my knowledge of the team procedures. This enabled my to further develop in my role and gain the job title of senior administrator, having increased knowledge within the team increased my work opportunities and I was able to progress even further, assisting with projects in an SME capacity.
Having such a varied knowledge within the aspects of the team led to my promotion as team leader in 2022, this was huge development opportunity and I believe that with the additional training opportunities I was able to thrive in the role. Most recently I have successfully completed the advanced lean practitioner certification and been awarded the accreditation for this.
