Hi, I am Melanie, and I joined JCP following my previous role as a Legal Secretary at a local law firm as I saw the opportunities for career development within JCP.
I joined JCP as a Business Support Assistant, carrying out front-of-house duties, welcoming clients and supporting the teams across the firm, and soon progressed into my Legal Advisor role, under JCP’s Legal Apprenticeship Scheme. With the end goal of becoming a qualified solicitor, I felt this was an ideal route to begin my studies and work full-time to earn as I learn. I am currently studying at Level 3 as a Paralegal with the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.
In my role as Business Support Assistant, I gravitated towards lifetime planning and probate related work, which led me to apply for my current role. I hope to leave a positive impact on clients and make an often emotional and difficult process as pleasant as possible and I look forward to continuing to learn and develop in my role.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family (and their dogs!), reading and going for walks - preferably on the beach when the Welsh weather allows!
I am a Welsh learner.
