As we reach the end of our introductions for our lovely centre staff, join us as we introduce you to Paris.
After joining in August 2023, Paris has been our dedicated and talented Training Administrator. Her journey began as our temporary maternity leave cover, but by the end of May, she had built a strong connection with the team.
As Training Coordinator, Paris plays a vital role in ensuring the seamless delivery of training sessions. Her responsibilities include notifying delegates, preparing paperwork, tracking attendance, managing certificates, and completing monthly financial reconciliations.
“I monitor the training inbox to quickly address issues and keep trainers fully briefed and equipped,” Paris explains. “I prepare materials, organise training rooms in advance, and, after each course, finalise documentation and send out certificates to delegates. My role is all about staying organised, proactive, and ready to support both trainers and participants for a smooth training experience.”
After college, Paris had a change of heart about her career direction. What started as a temporary role became a career-defining moment as she discovered her passion for helping others grow.
“My favourite aspect of my role is helping people advance their careers by supporting them as they gain essential qualifications. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that my work directly contributes to their growth and success.”
Paris cherishes the camaraderie and support within the Van Elle team. “Working with a team where everyone gets along so well makes the job even more enjoyable. We truly support each other, which creates a positive and motivating environment.”
One standout experience for Paris was participating in National Lorry Week, where she stepped into another team member’s shoes to better understand their role. “It was eye-opening to see the day-to-day challenges and responsibilities of others in the business. It gave me a new level of respect for their hard work and dedication and helped me see the bigger picture of how each role contributes to our success.”
When she’s not coordinating training, Paris enjoys spending time with her boyfriend and family, going out for tea, and shopping. She’s also passionate about beauty and is qualified to do brows and lashes, often practicing on friends. Traveling and discovering new destinations is another of her favourite pastimes, as she loves exploring and experiencing new places.
Paris finds the opportunity for growth and development within such a supportive team environment to be one of the most rewarding aspects of working at Van Elle. “Everyone is genuinely close and, on each other’s side, always willing to help and cheer one another on. It creates a positive atmosphere where you feel encouraged to take on new challenges and progress in your career.”
Paris’s dedication, enthusiasm, and genuine passion for helping others shine through in her role, making her an integral part of the Van Elle team. We’re proud to have her on board!
