ABOUT LOUISE
A career shaped
by people.
I’m Louise Russell. My background brings together Theatre Studies, education and apprenticeship assessment. The thread running through it is understanding people and helping them navigate what comes next.
Starting with the person.
Working closely with learners has taught me that the same process can work very differently for different people. Clear explanations, good questions and a willingness to adapt can make a real difference to someone’s experience.
Assessment also involves judgement: working with detailed requirements, reviewing evidence and balancing individual needs with the standards that need to be met.
What I bring to a team
01 / COMMUNICATION
Making things clearer
Explaining requirements, listening to different perspectives and adapting a conversation to the person in front of me.
02 / COORDINATION
Keeping track
Organising competing priorities and maintaining relationships as people progress through a complex process.
03 / CURIOSITY
Looking for a better way
Taking an interest in where a process causes difficulty and working with colleagues to consider practical changes.
Creativity is part of the picture.
My Theatre Studies background is part of how I think about audiences, communication and collaboration. I enjoy exploring different perspectives and finding ways to make an idea understandable.
A new chapter, with experience to bring.
I’m exploring opportunities in project and programme coordination, learning and early careers, customer success, operations and service improvement. I’m also interested in product and digital work where understanding people and improving their experience matters.
I’m looking for a role where I can contribute what I already know while developing new skills and learning from a team.
