Benjamin Douglas

Professional rugby player who represented England at U18, U19, and U20 levels, including winning the Six Nations with the national team, developed a high level of discipline, resilience, and focus. Competing in elite environments taught the importance of setting clear goals, continuously improving, and performing under pressure. Balancing demanding training and travel schedules with academic responsibilities at university, demonstrating strong time management and commitment. These experiences have made myself highly adaptable and an effective team player, with excellent communication skills and the ability to thrive in fast-paced, results-driven environments.

During my time in Australia, I worked with Works For You across various short-term roles, including mulching, removalist jobs, and warehouse labouring. While these roles are not part of my long-term career goals, they taught me the value of hard work, adaptability, and perseverance in physically demanding environments. I balanced this work alongside playing competitive rugby and completing my university degree, which strengthened my time management, discipline, and commitment. These experiences gave me a grounded understanding of responsibility, teamwork, and resilience. Qualities I'm now ready to carry into a corporate environment as I pursue the next stage of my professional development.
