Meet Susan Lauder – the newest addition to the SCQFP team. Susan joins us as an Executive Assistant and brings a wealth of experience.
What is your role within the SCQFP?
As Executive Assistant I provide high level administrative support to the CEO and senior leadership team, as well as the Board and the various sub-committees. I am also responsible for the day to day office management for the SCQF Partnership.
What do you enjoy most about your role?
Variety! My job role provides a lot of variety in terms of my day to day tasks which allows me to utilise my skills in lots of different ways – and for the things I’m not sure of, there’s always Google!
Tell us a bit about your career to date?
I started my career in administration as an office junior for a firm of solicitors in Glasgow city centre at the tender age of 16. Since then I have held a variety of administrative positions in a wide range of industries including recruitment (where I spent some time on secondment as a recruitment consultant), private healthcare and third sector organisations.
During my career I have also undertaken two SCQF level 7 HNC qualifications; one in Health & Social Care and the other in Counselling Skills.
Before joining the SCQF Partnership I spent nine years providing administrative support for a team of surgeons within NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
Tell us something interesting about yourself
In my spare time, I like to attend the theatre and have a great love of all things musical. I was once lucky enough to get backstage to a well-known musical during its tour of Glasgow where I met some of the cast and even got to step out onto the stage. Thankfully, the auditorium was empty at the time!
