Work history

Remote Charity Fundraiser

QTS Fundraising
Plymouth, Devon
07.2024 - Current
  • Within this role, I have applied my sociological understanding by engaging with a diverse range of causes, and collaborated with multiple charities. By representing various charities, I am exposed to different causes that address social issues such as poverty, homelessness, mental health, gender equality, or environmental concerns. As a fundraiser, I am in a position to advocate for positive social change, mobilising people and resources to address pressing social issues.
  • Representing multiple causes requires a nuanced understanding of cultural differences and values. Sociological understanding helps to navigate these complexities, allowing me to communicate the importance of each charity in a way that resonates with a broad audience, and ensuring my approach is inclusive and culturally competent.

  • As a nursery practitioner, my role has allowed me to directly apply my understanding of sociology in various ways, particularly when it comes to shaping young minds and fostering social development. Working with children in their early years, I see firsthand how social structures, family dynamics, and cultural influences play a significant role in shaping their behaviour and interactions.
  • By creating a supportive and inclusive environment, I was able to help children develop their social skills, teaching them how to communicate, collaborate, and respect others' differences. I use my sociological knowledge to understand the importance of family dynamics. Knowing how family structures and home environments influence children's behaviour helps me provide more personalised support.
