Devon Bonner-Smith

As People Coordinator at Torchbox, I play a key role in supporting our team and ensuring our HR processes run smoothly. I collaborate closely with colleagues at all levels, from Directors to Developers, helping them navigate day-to-day requests and ensuring they have the right information for their projects.
With a Level 3 CIPD qualification, I bring a strong foundation in HR best practices to everything I do, from arranging interviews and screening candidates to onboarding new starters and supporting the implementation of new people-focused initiatives.
My passion for helping others is at the heart of my work. This drive was inspired by my previous experience in animal welfare, where I learned the importance of empathy, patience, and seeing the best in people. I approach every change in policies and procedures with an open mind and a solutions-focused mindset.
I am also a member of the Community Action and Social Voice Group.
Outside of work I enjoy taking my dog for long scenic walks and exploring new places, cooking new recipes, and socialising with friends.
