Sing Up Area Leader
-
Oct 2007 - Mar 2011
Working as Sing Up Area Leader for www.singup.org I provided training and CPD to those working with Primary aged settings. Training was based around singing with musical ideas to support all aspects of the school curriculum. I was a project manager responsible for £120 000 worth of government funding to provide training free of charge. Some training was outsourced and some was provided by myself. I created resources for people to use with primary aged children and worked in partnership with local arts organisations and music services. I helped to create local networks to get people together more often to share best practice.

Receptionist and administrator
-
Apr 2007 - Sep 2007
I worked as one of the receptionists in a small busy law firm. I was responsible for taking client calls, setting up meetings with clients and solicitors and general day to day filing. I spent time liaising with local estate agents on the buying and selling of properties as well as the various courts and agencies involved in family law. I was also requested to witness a number of legal documents such as Wills. My discreet and professional manner allowed the solicitors and secretaries get on with their work more efficiently.

Deputy Head Teacher

Sep 2006 - Mar 2007
I was a KS1 class teacher of a mixed year 1 and 2 class as well as Deputy Head Teacher for the school. I was given the responsibility of Music Coordinator across the school. I worked with a hugely mixed ability class who were both streamed for Literacy and Numeracy lessons and who were mixed for other curriculum areas. Lessons were taught around a 'topic' approach to the curriculum. I was a KS1 class teacher of a mixed year 1 and 2 class as well as Deputy Head Teacher for the school.

Primary Classroom Teacher
-
Sep 1999 - Aug 2006
KS2 Class teacher with experience teaching all KS2 classes single year groups and mixed. I was Music Coordinator and later became ICT coordinator. Both Subject roles meant I was responsible for the budget and planning of those curriculum areas as well as for supporting colleagues in their teaching. I spent 2 years teaching children sitting the KS2 SATs with responsibility for the SEN provision during one year, this was successfully inspected. I took responsibility for the organisation of the annual Y6 educational trip to France where I planned and led staff to take 40 Y6 children away for 5 days. This involved extensive risk assessments as well as being able to adhere to strict passport guidelines. I also taught 1:1 and small group violin and led a number of after school music clubs. I was on the committee for the Lancaster and Morecambe Music festival and often led the groups in school working towards their performance.
