SERVICES
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
JBK can offer remote support and an ability to quickly understand your objectives, slipping into your organisational set up to support you, and your team, deliver an objective. Jane has a deep understanding of the needs of organisations involved in human services so can be up to speed on context and ready to support you get something achieved without you needing to recruit and appoint a member of staff, losing time and momentum.
​
Jane gets things done, effectively and efficiently and can handover to you, releasing your resources to do your day job. Jane brings a pragmatic approach to project oversight so that there is just enough engineering to achieve success without getting bogged down in the admin of a project, maintaining progress and, importantly, morale.

​
INTERVIEW SUPPORT
​
Need an independent person on your interview panel with experience in human services? JBK can quickly understand the needs of a role (and can prepare some awesome interview questions) to augment your interview panel and particularly ask the ‘so what’ questions to help you appoint the best person based on competency, character and chemistry.
​
​
INDEPENDANT SCRIBE
For interviews or meetings when you either don’t have the capacity, or want to ensure confidentiality, JBK is the go-to person for succinct records of interviews and meetings. If your Board secretary is suddenly unwell and you don’t want to ask another staff member to take the minutes, call and she can acquaint herself with your meeting requirements, take and deliver a draft set of minutes so you don’t have the hassle of reorganising meetings just to ensure you have a minute taker.
​
​
MEETINGS MATTER
A day course for those who you need to be able to support a committee from scheduling, agendas, minutes and general administration, as well as helping the committee get the best from their limited time. (Best delivered in person; each course can accommodate up to 12 people).
​
​
COMMITTEE SECRETARY
If you don’t have anyone on staff who has the right skill set (and it takes more than just typing to be an effective committee secretary), JBK can provide independent and confidential support to your committee(s).
​
​
ADMIN PROJECT
Need someone to action an admin process such as the management of an appointment to your staff or Board. It’s said that paperclips stand to attention when JBK enters the room so JBK can relieve you of the stress and run things for you.
​
​
REVIEWS & ANALYSIS
With almost record-breaking reading speed and an ability to comprehend and precis documents for importance and relevance, JBK can prepare reports and analysis that put you ahead and able to action next steps. JBK has an analytical mind and can review, compare and contrast materials to ensure you can maintain organisational alignment and consistency between your documents or against a requirement.
​
​
CRISIS SUPPORT
Whilst JBK thrives on organisation and structure, her analytical, practical and decision-making speed means she is able to step into a crisis situation and support action and response. If you need help quickly, call and she can provide strong support to you to respond and get you back to BAU.
