Work history

Cleaner

The John Milton Academy Trust
Stowupland, Suffolk
10.2021 - 04.2022
  • As a cleaner, my primary focus was to maintain a high standard of cleanliness of the school facilities, including toilets, communal areas and classrooms. This required necessary training and a comprehensive understanding of handling a variety of chemicals, preserving a hazard-free environment for the next school day.
  • The role utilised my communication skills by working as part of a team, generating an efficient workflow by assisting colleagues who were targeting other areas. This was particularly key during the holiday periods when deep cleans were conducted with a larger team to complete thorough procedures.

Packaging operative

Just Recruitment
Needham Market, Suffolk
08.2022 - 08.2022
  • My role as a packaging operative involved working in a production line, adapting to a demanding environment. Accurately packaging a plethora of products to an immediate deadline.
  • This job relied upon my consistency in high standards and flexibility when conducting the varying tasks assigned to me. Whilst being placed in different areas of the factory, I enjoyed learning and gaining new skills that benefited me and the employer.

Support worker

Leading Lives
Stowmarket, Suffolk
07.2023 - 06.2024
  • As a support worker, I worked with vulnerable adults who needed assistance in living their daily lives. This role required me to heavily utilise my ability to build positive relationships with colleagues and those I supported so that proper care could be provided in a positive environment.
  • Being a support worker also demonstrated my ability to adapt in a fast-changing environment with high-stress situations arising unexpectedly from changes in the behaviour of those being supported. I was able to work through these scenarios calmly and positively, either on my own or by communicating with my fellow colleagues.

Cleaner

Norwich School
Norwich, Norfolk
11.2024 - Current
  • As a cleaner at Norwich School, my role was to ensure that my designated area and the overall facilities of the school was kept to the highest possible cleanliness and hygiene standards.
  • In this role, I have worked independently and with others to ensure a high quality of work is carried out. Adaptability is also a massive part of the job as your duties could change on a day-to-day basis.
  • I thrived in this role using my organisational skills to do my part and help the rest of the cleaning team as much as I could.
