Summary
I am a confident, reliable, hardworking professional with a passion for support young people through education and care. I demonstrate excellent leadership skills, the ability to delegate, set examples & support positively. With over 12 years’ experience in the child care, young adults and Fostering system, I have developed practical skills in supporting children and young children within the educational, care and health setting. I also possess excellent written & verbal communication skills, knowledge of the care, regulations and polices & procedures.
I have an excellent record of working successfully with families in different settings. I take pride in being able to handle difficult situations sympathetically but with professionalism. I believe I have what it takes to provide the best service for any child, young adult or adult no matter their individual needs. Volunteering over the years has also helped me to gain a wider and better experience as well as studying within those sectors
