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 worked in cancer services with NHS for 8 years. I’ve worked with people with cancer and I wanted to work in a different field but still be able to provide service to people living with cancer. I wanted to apply my skills that I learnt with NHS and be able to spend quality time with people and help them release their fears and help them relax.

I have had various Cancer experiences within my family. I lost my dad when I was 10. My brother had Stage 3 cancer through 2019, we nearly lost him as well.

That triggered a re-alignment of my own values and where I wanted to go in my life.

I think I always knew I wanted to work in the third sector but it was a roundabout way to get here. 

I worked in Tech before, had enough of that and decided to pursue my dream. I quit my job and this role at Macmillan came up and it felt like fate.
