Lily Cooper

Lily Cooper started her career at Tesco as a Customer Assistant whilst completing her A Levels at college. While at Tesco, she built on her problem-solving skills by helping customers with problems or concerns as well as team working skills with her fellow colleagues.

After completing her study, Lily Cooper found an interest in administrative work while undergoing work experience here at Atkins Search. After an apprenticeship position opened, she saw this as an opportunity to further her career in a sector she had a lot of interest in. Lily joined Atkins Search as a Business Administration Apprentice in October 2023 helping the permanent team by completing administrative work.

In 2025 we were excited to celebrate Lily’s successful completion of her Level 3 Business Administration Apprenticeship with Nottingham College and was then promoted to Business Support Administrator. Lily has undergone a rotational programme, involving training to be a Resourcing Consultant, working as a Personal Assistant, and continuing her daily administration tasks. During her training, she has developed strong connections with industry leading consultancies, priding herself on working in an ethical manner to achieve successful outcomes for both Atkins Search, and external partners.

In her spare time, Lily enjoys watching all kinds of sports and supports Nottingham Forest as well as the Nottingham Panthers. She also enjoys socialising with her friends and family, whilst also seeing new cities when she gets the opportunity to.
