What do you like about your job and the company?

I have a vital role in ensuring that the changes happening to our borders are well thought out and meets the requirements and expectations agreed with the EU when we exited. It gives me a very good insight of the different changes happening at our borders, how it will work, who it will affect and any issues that might arise. I am working with professionals within the HMRC and externally which I find very interesting as I am learning new ways of working at the same time as meeting the UK governments objectives for our borders.

Greatest achievements

I had the opportunity to work on the cross-government Border Delivery team in the early stages of when the UK left the EU. I planned the Industry Day events with EU stakeholders to give them information on the changes that would happen as a result of the UK leaving the EU in case of a no deal scenario as at that time negotiations were still ongoing between UK and EU. I worked with our policy colleagues to understand the changes and responded to questions from our EU stakeholders on the various different things that they were concerned about. I found this role very exciting and felt part of the future chages that were being considered for our country.

I think we can all feel a sense of imposter syndrome, and that inner voice saying you are not capable. You are ! I think we all need to recognise that work can be challenging and not always as straightforward as you want it to be, which is where the doubt can set it. Its all about building that resilience for me, don't give up. If you want something just keep working towards it, even if that means taking it slowly.

You will bring a unique perspective to a role as your experience will have been different from that of others. Don't be afraid to bring that to the fore, it is what makes you, you and brings a valuable contribution to a team. I wish I'd thought this more when I first joined the Civil Service!

Make a difference in whatever you do. The roles in your career may change frequently or be quite stable. You may stick to one profession, end up working in a few or work in one you would never have expected to work in. Your best profession may not yet even exist! But whatever you do - make a positive difference. That difference can be to your customers, the public, the service you provide or the people you work with. It will be different in the roles you do - but make sure you change things for the better.
