Dynamics CRM Administrator

I have been working at the Royal Society for nearly two years and it has been a great experience. I started in the Digital Marketing team, where I learned a lot about creating engaging content and reaching out to our audiences. I then moved to the IT team, where I am involved in developing and maintaining the CRM. Working at the Royal Society is a pleasure, with great colleagues, social activities, engaging work and supportive staff networks such as the Royal Society Pride Network. I feel proud to be part of an organisation that promotes excellence in Science and supports Diversity and Inclusion.

HR Director

I joined the Society in a three day a week role as a member of the Senior Management team. It was great to be able to work flexibly in a senior role as it gave me time with my pre-school age children. Over the last few years, I have gradually increased my hours to four and a half days a week as my family has grown up and become more independent. Along with a generous leave allowance, we also provide the option to purchase an extra week’s annual leave. I did this last year so I could have more time off in the school holidays and so I could really celebrate a ‘big birthday’! The introduction of these extra benefits has allowed us to continue to look for ways to support staff choices around work life balance. This benefits all staff, not just those with caring responsibilities.
