Education Officer

Background administrative support to multiple Units in the Education department including Continuing Professional Development (CPD), Specialist International Medical Graduates (SIMGs), Training, Accreditation, and Assessments (the majority of the work is with Assessments and includes Fellowship OSCE/Primary Vivia exams at the AMC testing centre). During the week I also provided lunch time relief to the receptionist and assist with catering as required. A year in and I'd say I'm quite proficient with the entire Microsoft Office suite now and business writing (which after a science background feels like a new language)!
