Eling Tide Mill - Cafe Assistant - Part-time Jul 2018 - Aug 2023 -

As a Cafe Assistant I gained experience working in a close knit team and fast-paced environment. During my time at Eling Tide Mill, I learned skills in communication, organisation, time management and leadership that I can prove valuable and apply to any job role. Tasks included food and drink preparation, including barista training, cleaning, first aid, team training and opening and closing the premises as a key holder. Although working on the cafe side of the business, I learned how important it is to value the hertiage of your local area, and the museum offered an insight into how promote and encourage learning within your community.
