For twelve years,
I have worked continuously
As a sessional worker
Supporting children
And young people
With a broad range
Of additional support needs.
After being elevated
To the position of team coordinator
I planned and delivered
Bespoke events
For the young people attending.
Promoting socialisation
And inclusion
As a focus of planned activities.
Alongside this role,
I have studied
And worked
Full-time
In a variety of care
And education support roles.
As an SLA
I have supported
Both Primary & Secondary age students
To access a mainstream curriculum
Differentiating resources
And activities to ensure
They are accessible.
Promoting learning
And development of life-skills,
Whilst creating a holistic learning environment
Unique to each learner’s needs.
For the past three years,
I have worked
as a Team Coordinator
For a Care Charity.
This role
Required a great deal
Of forward planning
And accurate and concise
Record keeping, monitoring
And evaluation of feedback
To ensure
A high-quality service
And identify
Any areas for development.
My project has been funded
By external funders
And so, I have been required
To complete regular grant reports
Feeding progress back to funders.
This has to be done
To a very high standard
Ensuring deadlines were met
At key points throughout the project.
As an in-house trainer,
I supported the development of staff,
Some of whom
I was also a direct supervisor to.
As a trainer
I delivered staff inductions,
Management of challenging behaviour,
Autism awareness,
And communications training,
Delivering training
To both staff and young people.
In addition to this, for two years,
I held a Volunteer Coordinator post
For a Charity Music festival.
In this role
A number of small charity evenings
Were run throughout the year
To facilitate a much larger,
Citywide event
At the end of each year.
I directly organised, recruited
And interviewed volunteers
For both supervisory roles
And general volunteering.
Organising and liaising
With volunteers
To ensure all events
Were well staffed
And ran smoothly
Was a key part of this role.
I believe
I have a well-balanced
And varied skillset
That paired with a genuine passion
For working with people
And supporting their experiences
Makes me an ideal candidate
To work with your team.
I am dedicated
Enthusiastic,
And keen to learn
As well as share my own experience.
