Claire
Environmental Monitoring/Active Lifestyles
Claire manages bikeability cycle training in the area/authority, as well as advising on travel initiatives to protect and promote Bath's Clean Air Zone.
Since she joined B&NES, Claire says she has been encouraged to develop her coaching and management style, and now tries to pass this on to her own team.
"From a management perspective, I could not have asked for more. I have a strong, trusting relationship with my manager and I believe that by ensuring that I am productive when I work flexibly, this not only benefits myself, but also the organisation. I would rate B&NES as an excellent employer - the best I have worked for. I feel supported, and because of that I go the extra mile for my work and for members of the public.”
Claire has young children, and working flexibly helps her manage her family and commuting more effectively. She loves living in Somerset and particularly values the green space and the community feeling.
