From holiday cover to a career she loves

Nicola joined our procurement arm, Consortium Procurement, in 2012, initially providing holiday cover. Now fast forward over 12 years and she’s still here, pleased to be part of the procurement family working as a Contracts Officer.

How would you describe the culture at the NHC?

Our strengths are targeted and supported by those in leadership roles who also make sure our work life balance is a priority. The work is meaningful and accommodating to our own individual styles.

What has changed at the NHC over the time you’ve worked here?

‘We can and we will’ – it’s impossible to mention just one as we continue to move forward and adapt to all that comes our way with such a way of thinking. The one change which impacted my own life the most was the agile working and its ability to allow me to adapt my work around helping my elderly parents.

What do you like to do outside of work?

I love to cook, watch movies and binge watch series regularly – a little too much! Horror movies are my favourite with the old classics still being at the top of my list. My 20-year-old daughter likes them too but has me watch them with her during daylight hours on the weekend so they aren’t so scary – where’s the fun in that?
