Ruth O'Connor

Learning about Social Welfare Law, Family Law, Consumer Protection Law, I was able to help clients seek information they needed.

By meeting clients face to face, I learned much about body language and excellent communication skills.

I learned how to help clients feel empowered.

I liaised between Clients and the Free Legal Advice Centre, taking queries from Information Officers and ensuring appointments were kept.

After Covid-19, my position changed to working at the Reception area, a busy role where excellent communication skills was key.
