Elaine Jackson-Praill SWC Strategic Communications and Engagement, Director's Executive Assistant
Staff Wellbeing Champion
Role
I joined the University in August 2022 my role supports the Communications Department in all aspects from finance and budgeting, diary and meeting support, event planning and lots more.
Wellbeing Statement
Wellbeing is often put at the bottom of people’s priority list and I think it is so important to raise awareness of what support is out there and provide opportunities and space for people to focus on their wellbeing. Even a short walk in the middle of the day or a cup of tea and a chat away from the desk can provide real benefits. With hybrid working now the norm I am keen to ensure that people continue to feel connected and part of a team through wellbeing activities and events.
Interests
Having grown up near the sea I love being close to the water and over the last few years have enjoyed kayaking up and down the River Avon. I have also recently joined a samba drumming band I'm by no means a natural drummer but it is fun and a great stress relief.
