Teaching assistant at Eastfield primary academy (2015-09 – Present)
In my role, I supported the teacher in delivering lessons and helping pupils to stay engaged with their learning.

I also helped manage behaviour in the classroom, supported children with additional needs, and contributed to creating a positive, safe, and inclusive learning environment.
Bank Health Care Assistant at NAVIGO HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE (2018-09 – 2022-10)
As a bank healthcare assistant on an acute mental health inpatient ward, I step into a fast-paced and often unpredictable environment, adapting quickly to the needs of each shift. My role centres on providing compassionate, patient-focused care to individuals who may be in crisis or experiencing severe mental health difficulties. I support patients with their day-to-day activities, helping to maintain dignity, independence, and a sense of normality during their admission.
This includes everything from assisting with personal care and meal times to engaging in meaningful one-to-one conversations and therapeutic activities. Building trust is a big part of what I did, offering reassurance and a calm presence when patients are distressed, anxious, or unsettled. Safety was always a priority.
I would closely observe patients' mental state and behaviour, reporting any changes to the multidisciplinary team and contributing to risk management. I often supported de-escalation in challenging situations, using communication and empathy to help prevent conflict or distress from escalating further. Working as bank staff means I integrate into different teams and adapt to various ward environments, which has strengthened my confidence, resilience, and communication skills.
I take pride in being reliable and flexible, ensuring that no matter where I'm placed, I provide consistent, high-quality care. Overall, my role was about being present, supportive, and attentive—helping patients feel safe, heard, and respected during one of the most vulnerable times in their lives.
Support Worker/Carer at Elysium Healthcare (2016-09 – 2018-09)
In my role, I provided daily support to individuals with learning disabilities and complex needs within a secure care setting. I assisted with personal care, daily routines, and activities, helping individuals maintain their independence and dignity. I worked closely with each person to follow their care plans, manage behaviours, and support their mental and physical wellbeing.
I was part of a multidisciplinary team, ensuring consistent, person-centred care, and I recorded and reported any changes in behaviour or health.
Sales assistant at Farmfoods (2012-08 – 2015-09)
In my role, I provided friendly and helpful customer service, assisting customers with their purchases and queries. I worked on the tills, handled cash and card payments, and ensured the store was clean, well-stocked, and organised. I also supported with deliveries, stocking shelves, and maintaining high standards across the shop floor, while working as part of a team in a busy retail environment.
