Harry Kirkham

I work for FC Hanley every Saturday morning coaching younger children to play football. I arrive 30 minutes before to set up the equipment and ensure the area is safe for the children to play.

I work in small groups running different activities before referring a game towards the end of the session.

Since doing this, I have developed my organisation skills, making sure I have everything that I need close to me so that I can run my session.

I have developed the ability to talk to other. This includes parents, other coaches and staff.

I am able to ask questions to others when I am not sure about something.

I am able to show my dedication to something that I am passionate about (football) as I have shown up for this role every Saturday that I have been required.

I worked with A. Withey during the summer of 2025. They involved maintaining the grounds of the local football pitches in Stoke on Trent. I was trained to use the strimmer & mowers to cut the grass to the required height. I showcased my time keeping and punctuality skills by being on time every day.

I was a volunteer working for Stoke City FC.

This role required me to show that I had good time keeping skills and was able to commit to a role on a weekly basis.

I had to sharp and vigilant in the role when the first team players needed me to retrieve the match ball.
