We continue our Employee of the Month series in which we celebrate achievement and recognise the hard work our incredible staff put into ending homelessness.

Since joining the company earlier this year, Sophie has quickly become an integral part of establishing the PRS team. She has helped to implement new procedures and processes that have enhanced the efficiency and operation of the department. Sophie has consistently demonstrated her commitment to the needs of the business by going above and beyond expectations to deliver on each project. A great addition to the team and asset to the business, Sophie is always willing to help and keen to learn from each opportunity.

We spoke to Sophie to get to know a bit more about her and what was behind her success.

Congratulations Sophie on winning the November Stef & Philips employee of the month. How did it feel to win?
It is a good feeling to win Employee of the month and be recognised for all my hard work.

What are your day-to-day responsibilities at Stef & Philips?
I work closely with our new service users to ensure their smooth integration into our PRS scheme. As part of a team, I liaise with our partner charities and councils to help them fulfil their commitments. This involves helping our service users settle into their accommodation, ensuring that their rental obligations are met and coordinating their tenancies and processing any claims. This requires working in collaboration with our accounts department to monitor relevant financial transactions. It’s an exciting, hands-on role, that allows me to help shape a recently established and growing department.

How has your previous experience helped you to be successful in your current role?
 I have always worked in the property management sector and was able to bring the skills and experience that I had learned in the industry to help Stef and Philips.

What are you most proud of in your work at Stef & Philips?
I have been with the company for less than a year, so to win this award represents the pinnacle of my Stef & Philips career so far. I am excited to see what happens next.

Any exciting developments in the pipeline?
The PRS department is growing, and there is a lot of potential work with charities and councils, lots of exciting prospects that I cannot wait to start work on.

Congratulations Sophie, keep up the good work.

Stay tuned for our December winner…
