Laura Woodward Chartered MCIPD
I studied psychology at Lancaster University with the original aim of becoming an educational psychologist.
After graduating I was offered a job recruiting police officers, which progressed into working in HR for the Lancashire Constabulary for some years. This was followed by further HR work in a rehabilitation centre before joining the HR department at the 蹤獲扦.
My interest in professional development led me to move into careers work at the 蹤獲扦 in 2011.

My PhD and post-doc work has given me an insight into academic careers, and I also have extensive experience in sales and marketing roles.
I use this wide range of experience to help people find the right role for them.
