Vince Stevens

I have been trained up on glass collecting, cleaning the bar areas and the main venue area, and stacking the dishwasher. I am now in a bank of seasonal staff and will work the shifts when they become available

I have been connected with my local grassroots football club for the past 10 years as a player myself and as an assistant coach with my dad for my brother's team. I have learnt to observe others' performance and try to unpick skills in order to demonstrate techniques. I have also supported and encouraged young players with the emotional challenges faced.

Here are some of the activities I was involved in.

• Adapted coaching methods to suit varied player needs, accommodating different learning styles and abilities.
• Led pre-match warm-up and stretching routines and post-game cool downs for muscle conditioning.

My experience at Tarnerland was really valuable, giving me an opportunity to work in a busy environment with a team of colleagues, understand and follow clear instructions for the day and begin to add my own creative ideas to engage with the children. Being a sportsman, I am comfortable working in a group and structuring games and encouraging participation. Some of the main tasks I was involved i n were:

• Supporting children's learning and development through engaging activities and play, fostering an environment of creativity and growth.
• Keeping children safe and secure by supervising activities and removing dangerous objects.
• Creating targeted activities and games to suit children's ages and abilities.
