About

I am a motivated school leaver seeking to further my knowledge and gain valuable experience in the workplace. I have developed strong communication and teamwork skills through previous work in a sunbed shop, where I also gained confidence in working independently and using my own initiative. I have completed a work placement at a local primary school, where I supported younger children with learning and classroom activities, further building my patience and communication skills.

Additionally, I helped organize a Sports Day event at a local community centre, which strengthened my organizational abilities and gave me valuable experience working with children in a fun and active setting. I am passionate about football and have experience coaching younger age groups through my school team, which has enhanced my leadership and mentoring skills. I am eager to apply these experiences in a dynamic environment and continue developing both personally and professionally.
