Membership Services Co-ordinator

Prior to joining the NSA in January 2014, I had been working for a private medical insurer in York for 14 years. That was my first full-time job since leaving University so the NSA is only my second! I initially started here as a temp to cover general office duties, and then became permanent in the summer of that year.

My role here as the Membership Services Coordinator covers 3 main aspects. Firstly, I look after the Managing Agent contract we have with a customer, which ensures all their sites remain compliant with their training needs. I also oversee the online learning requirements of all the NSA’s business membership network, both in terms of our own published courses and the wider catalogue we have access to. Finally, I process the apprenticeship claims in all of the 3 nations. Additionally, I also assist with the office admin duties where required to support the teams.

Digital Marketing Coordinator

I started work as an administrator, completing a level 2 Business Administration apprenticeship. I joined the NSAFD in 2015 and completed my Level 3 Business Administration apprenticeship. In 2019 my role evolved and I began the Level 3 Digital Marketer apprenticeship which I passed in June 2020.

At the NSAFD I am responsible for maintaining and updating all of our web, email and social media platforms. I provide marketing support by assisting the development and implementation of marketing campaigns. I also support the organisation and delivery of training sessions, conferences, exhibitions and Industry Skills Partnership meetings.
