Sophie Goodwin

I’m 16 years old and in my final year at school, studying for my GCSEs. I am polite, energetic and enjoy meeting new people. I am confident and well organised and have already gained experience of working in different settings, both with children and adults (see work experience below).

I understand the importance of being on time and can be relied upon. I am very active and play for a football team but can turn my hand to any sport. I understand health and safety and how to conduct myself in a workplace.

I am very focused and hardworking and comfortable working with the public and delivering customer service. I am used to working in team settings and have gained experience through school and my current jobs but am also confident working on my own. I have a very friendly and bubbly personality and would greatly appreciate any further experience you can offer within your workplace and be considered for any weekend/school holiday roles available.

Front of House - Bridgehouse Cafe - Derby Road, Ambergate DE56 2EJ

(2026-06)

I work front of house with customers in this family-run café at weekends and in the school holidays. I welcome customers and serve food and drink to them in a polite, warm, welcoming and efficient manner. I handle cash and I’m confident using a till to process customer bills.

I ensure the café is clean, clearing and cleaning tables when customers have left and ensuring items such as the coffee and drinks fridge are always fully stocked. I take instructions from colleagues and carry these out to the best of my ability.

Magazine Distributor - Country Images Magazine - Swanwick

I deliver magazines to residents within Swanwick every month. I follow a route map to ensure that only certain houses receive a magazine. I deliver them in all weather conditions and ensure they are delivered by the deadline.

School work placement - Amber Valley School Sports Partnership - Schools throughout Amber Valley

(2026-07)

Delivered and supported the delivery of physical education lessons to infant/junior/primary school aged children in their school settings. I visited several different schools throughout the week and met many new people along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed working with children and teaching them the importance of living an active lifestyle. I learnt a lot from the teachers at Amber Valley Schools Sports Partnership about how they plan/undertaken their work in a school setting.
