Sadie Ward

I am an enthusiastic BSc (Hons) Psychology student at Plymouth Marjon University. With considerable experience of working with young people between the ages of 4 and 15 years with specific and nonspecific learning disabilities I am confident planning activities, maintaining safety and supporting behavioral needs of children. These experiences, alongside working in customer facing and research roles have enabled me to develop effective communication and listening skills. I am motivated to achieve individual and team goals through hard work and determination. I wish to excel in all aspects of child development and am keen to learn from others and new experiences.

I have been educated in the following areas: Prevent, Safeguarding, Team Teach, Talking Mats, MAPPA, Cyber Security (within an educational setting) as well as continuous professional development from on a job based learning whilst a special education teaching assistant and special needs child caregiver.
