My Summary

My Experience

I bring a wealth of experience in childcare and education, ensuring that your child receives the best possible support.

Currently, as a SENCO Support Assistant in a Special Needs School, I am involved in the writing of EHCPs, mental health workshops and overarching support for students with complex social, emotional, and learning needs.

Previously, working as a Support Worker in a homeless hostel, I assisted adult clients in making positive life choices and developing support plans to ensure their safety and well-being.

I worked as a Casual Nursery Practitioner, creating engaging activities that promoted cognitive, physical, and emotional growth, while supervising playtime and assisting with personal care.

My role as an Educational Psychology Assistant with Plymouth City Council involved working with children aged 3 to 15, conducting one-on-one sessions, and supporting those in alternative provisions.

I have also volunteered with my local town’s Covid Support Group, providing grocery deliveries to elderly and vulnerable adults, and with The Elder Tree, visiting and supporting vulnerable older adults to alleviate loneliness.

These diverse experiences have honed my skills in communication, empathy, and adaptability, enabling me to create an inclusive and supportive environment for every child and young person.
