Meet the Team: Julie Walker, HR & Finance Administrator

4 November 2025

Let’s get to know Julie Walker, our HR & Finance Administrator at T3 Training & Development.

What is your role within T3?
I’m the HR & Finance Administrator. My role is to manage financial administration and support HR and staff management for the company.

What is your background before you came to T3?
I worked in Local Authority Housing for 38 years before retiring from that role. My passion was always social housing — from homelessness to helping people find safe, decent accommodation. I managed a team responsible for complex assessments for rehousing in line with Barnsley Council’s Lettings Policy, along with all associated duties.

What’s the best part about your job?
My role sits at the heart of how T3 functions, and the best parts are:
• Supporting people, not just paperwork
• Being able to see the bigger picture — both financially and in terms of staff wellbeing
• Helping things run as smoothly as possible

If you had a magic wand and could change anything in the world, what would it be?
That everyone learns one simple tool for conflict resolution. Not huge peace treaties — just small interpersonal tools like active listening or using “I statements.” If workplaces, families, schools and online spaces used them, conflict wouldn’t disappear, but it might shift for the better.

What do you do in your spare time?
I go to the gym, walk or hike (ideally where there aren’t many people), spend time with family and friends, and cook.

Favourite place in the world to go?
So far, it’s Villefranche-sur-Mer on the French Riviera, between Monaco and Nice. This may change as I travel more over the next few years!

What is your favourite meal?
Any Indian food.
