Megan Brazel

A caring, enthusiastic and reliable individual with a strong interest in working with children, young people and individuals who may require additional support. I have gained valuable practical experience through volunteering and the Newport Live Youth Summer Jobs Programme, where I worked with children on a day-to-day basis, supporting their development through gross and fine motor activities and encouraging positive social interaction. I am confident working as part of a team and have developed strong communication, organisation, customer service and leadership skills through my education, training and voluntary experience.

I am compassionate, patient and eager to learn, with a particular interest in Health & Social Care and supporting others.
