Alice has worked in the Wills and Probate department since May 2021. She started as an administrator in the department and this knowledge gave her a great foundation to help provide the support and advice that clients require.
Alice is enjoying learning new things and gaining knowledge from her colleagues and is looking forward to continuing her training to become a solicitor.
Previously Alice worked on an inpatient ward for patients with learning disabilities. This role helped her develop good people skills and allowed her to help people who were going through difficult times.
More about Alice
We asked Alice: What can clients expect from you? Clients can expect an honest and empathetic service from me. I am very conscious of the fact that clients come to us at one of the worst points in their life and I want to make sure that they are given enough time and the best care, just as I would expect for my own family. What do you love about your job? I love being able to help people who really need it and be an element of support for them through a crisis. Also, I love to learn new things and I really feel like each matter is different, so it gives me the chance to develop my knowledge and skills. What are your interests outside work? I like to go on adventures with my partner to places that we have never been before. And when we are not adventuring, I like to spend time with my family and occasionally drag myself to the gym!
