Summary

A highly motivated and experienced person working as a Teaching Assistant in a Primary school, with proven ability to improve working environments and a commitment to employee welfare. I liaise with parents and families on a daily basis, interpreting from Urdu to English for our non-English speaking parents maintaining confidentiality. I have a range of experience in retail, including sales, customer care and stock room positions. I welcomed customers, aiding help find necessary store items. I possess strong interpersonal skills, demonstrating the utmost discretion and integrity when dealing with confidential information. Currently, a student at University of East London had also given me various opportunities to improve leadership skills by chairing meetings for projects and assignments. This helps to engage all participants by removing potential barriers of unapproachability. On multiple occasions, the invitation for participants to openly converse has provided an opportunity for possible challenges individuals are facing to be shared such as ill health, financial difficulties or even a lack of understanding of the task being completed in the instance that team members I showed great consideration and compassion to their situation but did not in any circumstance pressure team members into sharing. I feel this shows great communication skills.
