Jamie Skinner

I am currently a Team Manager in Marks & Spencer and have been for 6 years. I have been in many areas of retail throughout my career and been a manager for 15 years, however I am now looking to further my career and move into the the area of work that I am built for. The teaching sector.

I thrive on teaching my own children and I am eager to work and help more kids on a larger scale. This is where my passion lies.

I have 3 children and a wife, we live in Dunnikier Estate, Kirkcaldy, extremely central to the areas within this job role. 

I have fantastic people skills that, allthough have not come from teaching and more Retail, I can adapt these very simply to the role. My current job is 90% people related, ensuring I get the best from my team. I would want to get the best out of the children too.

I am reliable, a fast learner and always ask questions when I am unsure. To teach is to learn yourself first. 

I directly manage a team of 15 colleagues at the moment however, when managing the store, I can be managing upwards of 30 colleagues. Time management and coordination is key to success when looking after such a large team.

If you would like to know anything else, please do not hesitate to contact me. 

15 years in Retail between footwear, clothing, cards (Clintons) and Foods.

Management for most of this time, between being a store manager and a Team/Line Manager.
