      Within this role, I looked after the children and supported their development and learning, through planned lessons, activities and tasks, building up their language, literacy and numeracy skills. I also observed, assessed and recorded each child’s personal, social, language and physical coordination progress, and identified ways in which their development could be furthered. I provided pastoral care and support to the children, and ensured safeguarding was maintained at all times.

      I undertook a 5 week long internship with Simply Cups, where I focussed on liaising with business and Universities about implementing a specialist coffee cup recycling scheme within the workplace, to promote a sustainable behavioural culture change and improve their environmental credentials. Whilst at Simply Cups I developed a deeper understanding of how a business works, and how one can successfully implement a scheme which creates positive social change within a business.
