Lorraine, HR Support Officer
South Norfolk District Council

“My role within the HR department of the council is to perform all the administrative tasks associated with the recruitment function, such as arranging interviews and sending out application packs. To get the job I needed some experience in an HR environment, good communication skills and administrative experience.

The best thing about the job is the people I come into contact with. It’s great to be able to help them. However, it can be a challenge thinking about and finding new methods of working.

I have received training whilst working for the council, mostly relevant to my specific role such as recruitment and interviewing skills.

In future, I hope to continue my professional development with the council.”
