Sara Clamp

I have worked as a Senior Operations Director for over 20 years and been very fortunate to enjoy a career break on the completion of my latest project in China at the end of 2023.

While I do not wish to return to a senior management role, I am now ready to re‑enter the workforce in a position that is both meaningful and fulfilling. I have always been passionate about supporting people in challenging situations, and a role as an Emergency Call Handler strongly aligns with both my values and skill set.
