Meet our HR Recruitment Team
Ffion Crossland, HR Advisor
How did you get to where you are today? I was lucky enough to stumble upon an HR Apprenticeship role which felt perfect for me at the time. Although knowing very little about HR and where this career could take me, my 18-month apprenticeship filled me with a range of great experience and knowledge that I have taken with me throughout my career so far. What do you like most about early careers recruitment? Being able to have a positive impact on candidates’ careers and sharing wisdom with them is extremely rewarding. Watching candidates go from their initial application to offer and then through their training with us is inspiring. Their growth is always admirable and I am often very proud of how far they have come. If you weren’t in early careers / HR, what would you be? I always wanted to be a midwife when I was younger. Although a very different career path, that is likely what I would have progressed if it were not for my HR career. What is your proudest career moment? My proudest career moment has been studying my CIPD course alongside full time working. This was certainly a challenge and
tested my time management skills but the relief and feeling of reward at the end of the course was worth all the stress. What have you learnt from your time in early careers / HR? To always ask questions and to dive into difficult challenges whenever they arise. Working in HR means you get to dip your hand into most things, and being able to immerse yourself into these situations can only better your career. What is your favourite thing to do in your free time? I enjoy going on long walks with my dog and looking at beautiful scenery. I also love cooking and taking time away from daily stress to taste new foods. Given what you know now, what advice would you give your younger self? All experience is good experience. Always put yourself out there to gain as much experience as possible in any capacity, as this only ever helps your career in the future.
