I joined Empower Multi Academy Trust in October 2021 as the Trust Administrator. Since then, my role has evolved significantly.
Alongside my initial responsibilities, I took on the role of ITT Coordinator for the Shropshire Primary Partnership, which operates under the EmpowerMAT umbrella. In 2023, I became the Engagement and Communications Administrator for STEP (Shropshire and Telford Education Partnership), supporting wider engagement across the region.
I am now the Trust Communications and Enterprise Lead — a newly created role designed to strengthen strategic communications and enterprise initiatives across the Trust. This position is still developing and will continue to grow with the Trust.
Background:
Before joining the Trust, I worked from 2013 to 2021 as an administrator for a care company supporting adults with learning disabilities. Prior to that, I spent 11 years at the Royal Bank of Scotland, gaining valuable experience in customer service and operational support.
My Impact:
In my multifaceted role, I contribute to the Trust’s mission and vision by:
- Administrative Support: Ensuring the smooth running of operations by supporting senior Trust staff and the Finance team with efficient administrative processes.
- Marketing & Social Media Management: Promoting the Trust’s initiatives, events, and achievements to raise awareness and strengthen community engagement.
- Communication: Facilitating clear and consistent communication across departments and partnerships, helping to build strong internal and external relationships.
