Emma Shackles

I have 18 years current experience working with children supporting their learning and development. I want to be able to progress and have the opportunity to change direction in my career, develop and learn more as well as earn more. I have the time to be flexible and work more hours. I'm a conscientious worker with keen attention to detail, organised and methodical in my work. I have excellent time management and organisational skills gained from experience working in a school environment.
