Naoise Brooke

I'm a business support team leader in local government but keen to pivot to Accountancy. It has been a goal of mine to study and complete either the ACA or ACCA qualifications with a view to relaunching my career in that direction. 

I am passionate about working in a role which puts the focus on helping people, through advice and support, and fostering good relationships as a result. I have a background in leadership and management, as well as having a qualification in digital marketing, so I bring a wide range of experience to the table.

Oxfordshire County Council
● Project Co-ordinator, Supervised Contact Team, Children’s Social Care
● I was responsible for organisation and coordination of supervised contact packages for
vulnerable children. This involves a need for skills in problem-solving and efficiencyawareness,
and an ability to engage with multiple parties to coordinate effectively.
● I was responsible for identifying longer-term development of the team’s ability to strategically
deliver service. This was by utilising data to produce reports on capacities and potential
capabilities, visiting other Local Authorities to assess best practice, and liaising with
stakeholders and external providers.
