Summary
I'm a motivated and compassionate individual, studying towards a level 3 teaching and learning qualification, with experience across care, classroom support, administration and customer service rolls.
I process strong communication, team work, organisation, time management and safeguarding awareness alongside keeping children safe in education.
I'm a positive and adaptable person, I'm patient and approachable, with an ability to provide reassurance and support in challenging situation's. I'm reliable and hard working, with the ability to follow guidance, learn quickly and contribute effectively as part of a team.
I took a break from employment for a period of time to raise my family and upon joining my children's PTA, I then realised this was the career path i wanted to embark on as I thoroughly enjoyed going into school to assist with guided reading, other events and working alongside the children.
I'm determined to develop a career in education and I'm committed to supporting children's learning, wellbeing and individual needs.
