Stephanie Joseph

I am a very self-motivated person who can spot situations that need improving and act on these – taking responsibility for ensuring whatever role I undertake is done well and to the best of my ability. I also work very well under pressure. I have excellent timekeeping, administration and organisational skills and enjoy working with people.

My previous roles have encompassed a great deal of client care, so I understand how to get the best out of people I work with and for. I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows me to learn new skills as part of a team.
