Summary
I am a full time carer for my disabled son and I work 11 hours a week, over two days as a Personal assistant to Mr Julian Keegan.
My back ground is primarily in Early Education and childcare with my most recent full time position being that of a classroom assistant at Burnside Primary school which I thoroughly enjoyed.
I have not been an exam invigilator before but I am confident that my experience with children would make me a good fit for the role
