SAFE headquarters\u2019 enthusiastic and charming office administrator, Abigail Newman, is the first point of contact for clients and visitors calling and visiting SAFE.\"\"<\/p>\n

Abigail describes herself as an all-rounder: \u201cMy job is to meet and greet clients and visitors, manage the switchboard, and attend to the day-to-day running of the office including ordering stationery and groceries and managing the cleaning staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of the health and safety team I\u2019ve attended first aid courses, and I\u2019m also a member of the social team, that organises all the office functions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also assist the finance and HR teams where necessary, and take care of numerous ad hoc things that other people can\u2019t get to and which ensure the office runs smoothly. SAFE has a strong team ethic and most of the decisions about running the office are based on team participation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abigail says that among the things she enjoys most about her current job are her colleagues, and being the go-to person for sorting out any problems that arise in the office.<\/p>\n

Before joining SAFE, she gained valuable experience working as a content moderator for a major property portal and then spent time at a large estate agency group. These positions gave her the confidence and skills to deal with almost any eventuality, and she carries this over into her position at SAFE.<\/p>\n

In her spare time, Abigail is studying human resources through Damelin.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking during the day and attending classes three nights a week after work is tough, but I\u2019m really enjoying the course and I have a goal to accomplish, which makes all the stress worthwhile,\u201d says Abigail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
