Kerin Jarvis
Kerin Jarvis has a 20 year career in Administration, Human Resources, and Work Health & Safety. In the 90’s, as a fresh faced 19 year old, she completed an Administration Traineeship at a Financial Management firm that took great care in teaching her “Best Practice”.
After working for Multiplex and Waterways Constructions as a Site Secretary and Development Hostess, she moved into the Public Service. In the 14 years she worked for WorkCover NSW, then Department of Defence, Kerin gained extensive experience in Payroll, Work Health & Safety, Human Resources, Administration, Leadership, Wellness programs, events coordination, procurement, budgeting, facilitation, writing procedures, interpreting legislation & policy, relationship/stakeholder engagement, and management.
In 2016, Kerin left the public service to successfully build an Air Conditioning & Electrical business from inception, to achieving annual turnover of more than $700,000. Then in 2019, she sold her share of this business.
In January 2020, with her knowledge and passion for all things related to the construction industry, Kerin launched Behind the Boots to provide administration and business management support to Tradies, and ultimately grow their businesses to greater success.
