My role as a digital admin officer

My background

I have just started working as part of the CPS digital team. I recently graduated from university with a degree in criminology.

Studying criminology at university sparked my interest in working for the CPS. Before that, I worked in various retail and property management positions.

My typical day

In a typical day, I make sure all emails have been dealt with and filed correctly. I work on the team’s recruitment trackers to ensure the distribution lists and organisation charts are up to date. I also support wider recruitment tasks.

Alongside this, I'm completing an apprenticeship in business administration which allows me to keep learning and developing new skills.

My inspiration

The CPS is a really nice place to work. I feel supported by my team and there's a constant focus on personal development at all levels.

I'm constantly engaging with different teams - this allows me to communicate with a range of people every day and understand different roles within the digital team.

As an administrative officer I'm at the start of my career but already feel like I'll have the support to develop when I'm ready. I am really looking forward to continuing my role in the CPS and seeing what the future brings.

My biggest learning

Don't be afraid to ask questions if you're not sure about something - everyone is willing to help and guide you in the right direction. Just do it and apply!
