About Me

Hi!

I’m Phoebe.

I am currently living in Epsom with my mum and little brother, working at Tulley’s escape rooms as a Games Master (lots of fun!), and completing a masters degree online through Huddersfield university. I’m also working as a teaching assistant during the week, at a special needs primary school in Leatherhead. I like to keep busy and love reading, creative arts and games.

I’m 23 years old and have a 1st Class Bachelors of Science Degree in Forensic Psychology. I have also come away from university with two certificates in Counselling, one at level 2 and one at level 4.

I have a full driving license as of July 2018 and have my own car. I also spent a few years working with St. John’s Ambulnce as a qualified vaccinator and events first aider.

I am employed by Academics on a zero hours contract so I'm also registered as a supply teacher/TA and have worked in many schools for both short and longer periods of times including 7 months full time work at a mainstream secondary school in Nantwich, Cheshire, helping students with all sorts of special needs in class, and 6 months full time work as a SEN TA at a special needs primary school in Leatherhead (where I’m on assignment at currently too). I have worked with academics since March 2020.

My A levels are in Sociology, Psychology and English Literature (ABB) as of summer 2018. My GCSE qualifications before that are in english (lit/lang), maths, french, history, drama, music, science (triple), health and social care and religious education. I came out with 2 As, 5 Bs and 4 Cs.

I was raised alongside many other children due to my mum being a childminder and before that, a nanny so I've constantly been around younger people my whole life. I have two dogs (which don’t shed) and previously have had a rabbit, hamsters, Guinea pigs, fish and cats. I'm really good with pets and I'm a non smoker.

My younger brother has Asperger's Syndrome and I am very well acquainted with peers who are neurodivergent, so I am used to not only the academic side of complex needs through my psychology degree, but also the real life experiences and reality of it. I have also completed work for the YMCA as a playworker, helping children up to 18 and as young as 5, who have complex needs.

I’ve completed NCS: The Challenge, bronze Duke of Edinburgh, and also achieved Surrey’s Young Superstar Award for starting and successfully running a mindfulness club for years 7-11 whilst I was a sixth former.

I’m fun, down to earth and very patient. I love arts and crafts, music, reading, games and learning new things. I have odeon limitless and a blue light card which can be very useful in planning days out and plan to soon renew my merlin annual pass too.

I have a wealth of employed experience with young people of all ages (4-18) and am qualified in prevent and safeguarding through my work as a TA in both primary and secondary schools.
