- During my time at Lakeside Primary School, I was able to develop skills such as communication skills, patience, organisation, and teamwork skills. Furthermore, I also was exposed to how to handle complex situations with children, which required me to adapt my language and approach. Additionally, whilst taking on the role of a teaching assistant, I was allowed to plan activities and complete a set activity with the class, this enhanced my ability to plan and manage lessons. Receiving positive feedback from both students and the teacher in charge was incredibly fulfilling. Knowing that my efforts were making a difference in the students' learning experiences instilled a greater sense of purpose in my work.

Under supervision, I also participated in handling repeat prescriptions, gaining insight into prescription management and pharmacy procedures. This experience strengthened my attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to work in a fast-paced healthcare environment.

Contributed to the smooth running of store operations in a fast-paced environment, demonstrating strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and effective teamwork while upholding Tesco’s customer service standards.
