About Me

I am a qualified teacher with Primary and Further Education experience. I am available for Primary tutoring work and my specific skills are in literacy; numeracy and life skills.

I have been employed in recruitment consultancy covering the Primary; Secondary and Health Care Sectors and I am passionate and dedicated in my approach to matching suitable candidates with client roles. I am customer focused and offer professional support prior to, during and after the recruitment process.

I was assigned to the Special Learning Resources Unit at the University of Central Lancashire and I worked with students who had hearing impairment; the work was really fulfilling! I am available as a note taker for meetings, lecturers etc.

I have a broad experience of management, customer services and sales expertise on both a 'business to business' and customer facing basis, gained over many years of working for top FTSE Companies. I have worked as an Area Manager for the Nationwide Building Society and as a Financial Planning Consultant for Royal Life and Leeds Permanent Building Society. I have also worked as a Customer Services Department Manager for the Halifax Bank of Scotland.

I hold the Financial Planning Certificate and have expertise in a wide range of financial planning areas. I can assist in sales both on a B2B and on a customer facing basis.

I have worked as a manager at an International Charity where I was tasked with fund raising; counselling, organising and running training courses, web design and the planning and running large charity events. During my time with the Charity, I became the editor of two International magazines.

I love creative writing as well as proofing copy. I am able to offer my services as a manager and organiser and as a copy writer and proofer.

I have excellent communication skills and I am told that I have a wonderful speaking voice. I am used to presenting information to large groups of people and I really like organising promotions and meetings.

I have wide coaching experience in 'life skills' and I am interested in offering specifically tailored training to maximise the opportunities for people to gain employment quickly!

I offer 1 - 1 advice remotely and face to face. I can write highly effective cover letters and CV's in support of job applications to ensure the best chance for a candidate to get that vital job interview!

I am IT literate and I am skilled in the use of Microsoft Office programmes including; Word, Outlook and PowerPoint. I am able to accurately record and input information and I am particularly good at online research.

I lectured at Blackpool and the Fylde College for two years, based in Lytham St. Annes. I worked with a group of 12 students on a government sponsored Youth Training Scheme. I was responsible for planning and implementing course work and assessments in literacy; numeracy and drama.

I have a full clean driving licence and I have a fully enhanced CRB. I have a caring, understanding, patient and empathic nature and I am flexible about the hours that I work. I really like working with people and I will provide the best professional support possible.

I have a 'can do' attitude to challenges! I am honest, reliable, trustworthy and punctual and I can provide excellent references and I am looking forward to assisting you!
