SERVICES

With experience developing and managing teams, an HR background and senior recruitment knowledge in a number of specialised areas including HR, marketing, communications, brand, policy, technical and the charitable sector, I offer a different approach to career support and recruitment through Virtue & Bloom. I am also an experienced writer and communications specialist – the third aspect of my sweet little business. You will be cared for, uplifted and respected as a client or candidate with my positive view of the world and commitment to efficient service and delivery. It’s all about creativity, wonder, brightness and helping others see themselves. This is Virtue & Bloom … and goodness too.

CAREER SUPPORT

I offer career coaching through Virtue & Bloom. So, if you’re ready to be welcomed by someone with an open heart and reminded of your true career worth, please get in touch with me today. Let’s be fabulous together!

I am fortunate to be able to offer focused career support from a Human Resource and Recruitment perspective.  Sometimes we lose sight of ourselves and our career path and value.
