I reached a stage in my life where I needed to change what I was doing. My kids had reached an age where they didn’t need so much support day to day and I was looking for a full time role. I was really interested in third sector. 

As I was applying for jobs, I saw the Macmillan name and it’s such a well-known charity that does incredible work for people affected by Cancer. I’ve lost a couple of people in my life from Cancer so I thought it would be perfect for me.

It helps that I can give back.

Working in the People Advisory Team means I look after People, it’s a People-centric and stakeholder management focused role. I look after the needs of our colleagues, managers and key stakeholders making sure that everybody in their role is well supported.

I have always been fortunate to have worked in roles which impact people’s lives. Working in L&D at Macmillan gave me the opportunity to direct impact the lives of those who engaged with any of our learning interventions and then be better equipped to support those effected by cancer.
