Natasha Rafiq

I am a friendly, reliable and hardworking student with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn. During my work experience at Rochdale Connections Trust, I worked alongside mentors and support staff in a youth support environment, supporting vulnerable people and helping to create a positive, welcoming environment where they felt comfortable and supported. This experience strengthened my communication, teamwork and active listening skills.

I enjoy meeting new people, work well as part of a team, and am eager to gain part-time employment where I can continue learning new skills and make a positive contribution.
