I joined Devon County Council (DCC) in 2009 and at the time I was an Assistant Auditor. I was very quickly given an opportunity to apply for professional training resulting in the achievement of a formal qualification. The council was supportive throughout, allowing me time away from work for exams and study workshops etc. I spent the next few years taking up opportunities to develop my career as vacancies arose.<\/p>\n
In late 2016 I moved to the NHS, returning to DCC after 12 months when the right vacancy became available, a decision that I am very happy I made. Throughout both my stints with DCC I have felt well supported and I have been able to work from home on a regular basis, which really helps with the work life balance. Access to the flexi time scheme really helps as I have a young family and using leave entitlement and support such as Parental leave, I was able to take four weeks off when each of my three children were born.<\/p>\n
My family loves being outdoors and there are so many beaches, moors and forests to visit. I have been amazed at the number of attractions there are in the area with everything from open farm days to trains, otters, bees, theme parks, water parks and a multitude of theatres and sporting teams. Having lived in other parts of the country and worked in other sectors including Hospitality, Construction, Engineering and Telecoms, I am happy to be working at the Council, in a fulfilling job which also lets me enjoy my family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"casestudy_category":[6,20,21],"class_list":["post-1244","wd_case_study","type-wd_case_study","status-publish","hentry","wd_casecat-professional-and-support-roles","wd_casecat-audit-and-compliance","wd_casecat-https-www-devon-gov-uk-workingfordevon-work-in-professional-and-support-roles-finance-services"],"acf":{"job_title":"Auditor - Risk Management","area_of_work":"Audit and compliance"},"category_details":[{"id":6,"name":"Professional and support roles","slug":"professional-and-support-roles","link":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/workingfordevon\/casestudy\/category\/professional-and-support-roles\/"},{"id":20,"name":"Audit and Compliance","slug":"audit-and-compliance","link":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/workingfordevon\/casestudy\/category\/audit-and-compliance\/"},{"id":21,"name":"Finance Services","slug":"https-www-devon-gov-uk-workingfordevon-work-in-professional-and-support-roles-finance-services","link":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/workingfordevon\/casestudy\/category\/https-www-devon-gov-uk-workingfordevon-work-in-professional-and-support-roles-finance-services\/"}],"featured_image":false,"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/workingfordevon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/casestudy\/1244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/workingfordevon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/casestudy"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/workingfordevon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/wd_case_study"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/workingfordevon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/casestudy\/1244\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17110,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/workingfordevon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/casestudy\/1244\/revisions\/17110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/workingfordevon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"wd_casecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/workingfordevon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/casestudy_category?post=1244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
