Alicia Bell

I started working for Jet2.com going into my second year at university as a way to pay my way through the remaining two years. Whist being extremely hard work I managed to balance my university studies with my part time work and feel I was successful at both.. This role has provided me with the opportunity to travel and provide me with confidence and customer service skills, as well as learning the sales skills for the retail offering on board.

My role here was to teach the young people aged between 6 and 15 years old in my charge, horse care and riding skills from beginners to more advanced riders with more abilities. Days were long starting with getting the children up and ready to face the day, teaching throughout the day until late afternoon followed by organising games for the evening. I prepared lesson plans and carried out administration before retiring for the night which was sometimes early morning.

Whilst in America, I was able to gain confidence and independence at the same time inspiring young people.
