Meet Merridy, Marketing & Communications Officer!

 

This month marks my 6th month anniversary since I joined Shaw Education Trust as Marketing & Communications Officer.

They say time flies when you're having fun and I can wholeheartedly agree, as my first 6 months seems to have flown by and I'm thoroughly enjoying each day. I previously worked at my local hospital for 7 years, I didn't know anything different from the various NHS systems, work methods, culture and values. To say I felt comfortable would be an understatement.

However, since taking the leap, coming out of my comfort zone and becoming part of the Shaw Education Trust team and working alongside the Marketing, Communications and Data Protection Manager, I have been able to enhance my creative skillset and expand my marketing knowledge so much in the time I have been here already.

I've had the opportunity to collaborate and be involved in many exciting marketing projects that all support our wonderful schools. Every day brings new learning experiences big and small, and provides the chance to contribute to meaningful marketing initiatives that make a difference.

From day one I received the best welcome with a well structured and informative induction program lead by Stephen Watson, Chief People Officer. This also gave me the opportunity to meet colleagues from across the trust that had also recently joined the organisation. 

I'm enjoying my journey and I'm excited to see how I will grow in another 6 months!
