Bio
Suzanne Dyda
I am delighted to recommend Jamila for any role within Youth or Youth Support. I recently placed Jamila at a college in London and she has been an absolute superstar with superb feedback from the college. She has settled extremely well into college life and has commanded respect from staff and students from the very beginning of her assignment. She is very hands on and has been able to build an excellent rapport with students and staff alike, and I would have no hesitation recommending Jamila for similar work within FE or within a Youth Club environment.
