Giedre Juodvalkyte

Deputy List Officer

Experienced and reliable professional with a strong background in management, administration, customer service, team leadership and financial control. I have experience working in busy customer-focused environments where organisation, accuracy and good communication are important. In my current role as a Cash Officer, I handle financial records, discrepancies and conduct thorough investigations involving missing funds, suspected theft and fraud. I bring a keen attention to detail and a commitment to following procedures in sensitive situations. I am looking to develop my career as a Deputy List Officer in the Ministry of Justice, where I can leverage my skills and experience to support the vital work of public service.
