My Background

• A good education where 10 G.C.S.E’s and A-Level Business Studies were obtained.

• Working in the care sector, assisting clients’ with their individual needs according to their circumstances and lifestyle.

• As an Office Administrator working for a computer company this opportunity expanded the desire to learn more about computers, undertake skills courses and gave the chance to put existing skills into practice, i.e. creating systems, organising and maintaining.

• After a short time the company reshuffled its operations and was promoted to Office Manager and PA to the proprietor, the role brought about increased responsibilities regarding payroll, business accounts, banking authority, greater confidentiality, decision making, organising personnel and dealing with clients on the telephone and in person.

• Relocation back to my birth town of Blackpool enabled me to work in the accounts department of a local firm who had five branch shops.

• Voluntary work; being involved in Parent’s Forums, helping to produce a Newsletter, and carrying out all computer requirements. After this forums’ success I was asked to set up a new Parents’ Forum in a newly built Children’s Centre, with position of Chairperson, my role also included being a Parent Representative, where parents could approach me confidentially with any concerns regarding the centre’s nursery. More recently I have become an Assistant Cub Scout Leader, helping with the administration requirements and helping children and adults as an assistant at a local circus school.
