Antoinette
Counter Clerk

1994
Went to school and completed GCSEs.

1996 - 2002
Various roles in customer service including a nursery.

2003
I always enjoyed numbers and maths at school so I started working as a financial cashier for a homelet company. Unfortunately I was made redundant in 2009.

2010
I worked as a dinner lady at Lincoln Castle Academy. The hours suited my home life well and I enjoyed the job, but I wanted more of a challenge and to get back into working with numbers.

2014
I applied to Lincolnshire Co-op as a counter clerk at Trelawney Crescent Post Office in Lincoln as I felt my skills in finance would be well-suited to the role. I loved it from the moment I started!

2016
I moved to Carlton Centre Post Office. Although the change was daunting, I immediately settled in really well with my new co-workers.

2019 - 2020
I love dressing up and raising money for charity. I’ve also used my colleague volunteering hours to help out local causes with things like revamping the equipment at public play areas.

2021
I completed the Institute of Leadership and Management Level 3. It was a challenge but I’m really proud of this huge achievement!
