Sep 2011 - Oct 2012
As a TA at Badsworth School I work under the supervision of the Year 5 teacher and also support the Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to provide general support in teaching, managing and disciplining pupils in the classroom. I also provide individual or small group support with pupil’s with more specific learning needs, including those with SEN, IEPs or statements. Within keystage 2 I have mainly helped to cover topics in numeracy, literacy, ICT, PSHE, DT and reading. I also have some general experience with keystage 1 pupils at Ackworth School and in the Autism Unit there too. I also help other staff and TA’s, either with classroom cover, lesson prep, administration or in helping with displays etc. as required.

Completed several domestic interior design projects from one off room makeovers to complete new build properties Creative eye for detail and able to produce original scheme concepts Visit trade fairs to maintain knowledge of trends, market prices, new product lines and visual merchandising ideas Prioritise and delegate workload appropriately between my personal multiple roles as a farmers wife, housewife and mother, and the staffing needs of the farm In response to the need for a forward thinking diversification project I initiated & delivered a strategic business plan which won a Barclays Bank Business Award. Whilst the initial proposition did not come to fruition, I was instrumental in the establishment of Greenfingers Compost, a thriving business delivering gardening products direct to the consumers door, targeting those without transport or the elderly etc who find it difficult to carry heavy and/or bulky . I also installed a basic sales / order processing schedule to ensure the easy monitoring of stock levels.
