A CHARITY that aims to help unemployed women succeed at job interviews has appointed a new chair.
Launched in Reading in 2015, the charity provides clothes and coaching. Now it will be led by Helen Francis.
A volunteer dresser and coach for nearly four years, Helen also has more than 25 years’ experience leading Global Professional Services teams.
She has specialised in creating and developing teams to address specialist delivery needs all over the world.
Having a successful track record in delivering large-scale programmes to external clients, she is looking forward to implementing this knowledge to help reach more women across the Berkshire area.
“I am immensely proud to be associated with the vital role we play in getting women back into work, enabling them to support themselves and their families, and also to be associated with an incredibly talented group of women that are the Smart Works organisation,” Ms Francis said.
“I am particularly looking forward to using my skills and experience at Smart Works Reading to achieve the ambitious goals of the next three-year plan.”
