This role consisted of working with children (aged 4-11) in a primary school setting. The role mostly focused on supporting children with homework’s, food preparation, supervision and mediating disputes. My experience at sleepy hollow was initially challenging as it was my first vocational career in working with vulnerable groups. It taught me lessons on holding authority, compassion, and it also broadened and allowed me to utilise my mediation training (OCR qualification).

I worked at the range for 7 months during the first semester of university. This job taught me how to time manage due to the lone nature of the job. The job consisted of stocking shelves, organising deliveries, working tills and communicating and assisting customers in queries. I believe this job allowed me to carry interpersonal skills to my current career as a support worker as it built the foundations of my confidence in conversing with others.
