Bio
Samantha Anderson
Tess is a hardworking and committed member of staff whom I have worked with for 10 years and line managed directly for five years. She is very student focussed in her actions and strives to give the students the best opportunities to meet their potential. She has the ability to think outside the box and can be very innovative in her approach. She is very employer focussed and is very interested in the role of the employer and how this can support students development. She therefore acted as employer liaison for the whole department being instrumental in setting up work placement opportunities, employer forums to support curriculum planning. This is turn enabled the college to increase its work with employers and ultimately employer engagement. She was instrumental in using the Moodle forum to keep contact with students whilst on placement in both real time and through electronic journals. This was commended and viewed during a recent Ofsted inspection as good practice. She also has a good working knowledge of work based learning and apprenticeship and study programmes. She is a good manager of people and has good working relationships with her staff and students.
