Pam Rayment AIEP, Employment & Development Co-ordinator at Salvation Army
What were you doing 12 years ago?
I was working for a construction company as the Customer Service Team Leader in Birmingham. I was at the forefront of dealing with enquiries from the customers whose properties we were working in, resolving issues and also doing good news case studies. I was also part of the tendering interview team and would go out to different interviews with a team.
What are you doing now?
Now I am working across Birmingham as an Employment Development Co-ordinator supporting clients with a range of different kinds of support from employability support such as CV writing and applications, to helping people with PIP forms. It is a varied and rewarding role.
What have you learned along the way?
I have learned that learning never ends; every day I learn something new about people and what I can add to my delivery of the service we provide. Doing the IEP course was invaluable to me. The support and guidance were amazing, and I definitely have grown in knowledge for doing it.
