I have recently taken voluntary redundancy from Oak CE (VC) Primary school in Crosland Moor,  where I was employed as a Business Support Officer for 7 years responsible for organising the order for both milk and school dinners for children, arranging after school clubs and school trips and ensuring payments from parents were received. I was also responsible for the recording and balancing of payments and receipts for the School Fund bank account. I assisted the senior leadership team with the preparation and distribution of the end of year student reports and setting up and arranging appointments for the online appointments system for parents evening during the Covid outbreak.

Prior to the above appointment, I worked, on a fixed term contract for 1 year at Westbury High School in Dewsbury where I arranged classroom cover for staff absences and assistEd the admin team with any other roles as and when require.

I was employed by Lloyds bank plc from 1970 to 2011, when I took voluntary redundancy, where I held various roles including, cashier, customer service officer and Local Business manager.
