I am a knowledgeable and hardworking individual studying for a Master’s degree in Political Science at the University of Birmingham. I have a good amount of previous experience working with children, which I did as part of my Undergraduate degree, and I am highly experienced working with vulnerable individuals. I have worked with a diverse range of people over my career and am looking to advance this by gaining further experience in a school environment. I have good time management skills and am passionate about helping others, which I know would be crucial for this position. Importantly I have good English and Maths skills, which were developed by my time in the advice sector, where I was talking to diverse audiences both in person and by email. I also helped with benefits advice, which enhanced my maths skills. If hired, I will bring a determined, resilient, and reliable attitude to this position.
