My role is focused on the employee journey at Convatec and how I can help my colleagues around the world to work efficiently every day. My role on a day to day basis requires me to understand my employees needs and give them a solution, which helps them and satisfies their requirements. I love it when my colleagues are happy.
My graduate role is structured to be in the IT department, however because I have an IT background and I am based in technology already, I love working in my department, but Convatec is flexible and I did receive the option of moving around other departments if I wanted to, however I have asked to stay in my department because this is where I would love to progress my career in, and everyone around me are so encouraging!
I have many proud achievements here, and the first thing is that I am the first graduate at Convatec across the whole organisation and I would love to be an example for future graduates!
My 2nd proudest achievement is my manager encouraging me to lead our Virtual Reality project for Convatec and I had the chance to speak to our CEO in my 1st month of joining and he remembered my name!! Just shows that everyone at Convatec cares about their employees, and it feels like a family being here.
I always wanted to be part of an organisation that helps other people globally, and what Convatec does is helps our patients and customers every single day. I always wanted to be in a pharmaceutical or a medical industry, whilst still being in the IT department. Even though I am in the IT department and I don’t interact with our customers, but I am still helping internally and that makes me the happiest.
When I proudly tell people that I work at Convatec, they recognise it as a company that is in the pharmaceutical industry and they recognise the products and tell me that Convatec is doing an astounding job for our patients, and that is when I realise I am working for a remarkable company!
I would say be true to yourself and know what you want in your career, be open, be flexible, be ready to learn and be ready to have a lot of fun, most importantly by being yourself.
Thank you for taking the time by reaching out to me and I hope this helps, and yes definitely reach out to me for the film montage, I would love to be a part of it. Thank you again and speak to you soon.
