The badge looks like the Royal Army Pay Corps.

still_looking is absolutely correct, although she was actually in the Women's Royal Army Corps and would have been permanently attached to the Pay Corps. The WRAC was disbanded in 1990 and those who had previously been employed in the Pay Corps (and many other administrative support roles) transferred to the Adjutant General's Corps.

Yes I agree. I was thinking post war.

She is ATS attached to the Pay Corps.  The wearing of the collar badge to the attached arm was normal.
