Madison Rutherford

I am 23 years old, and I have currently received my bachelor’s degree in Sport and 
Exercise Therapy at Leeds Beckett University. I am an ambitious and hardworking 
individual, therefore have often received recognition for my commitment and 
dedication, especially in sporting achievements. 
I currently work within the NHS Service as a Physiotherapy Assistant where I am 
able to demonstrate good communication, organisation and leadership skills within 
the Multidisciplinary Team. I was also aware of the health and safety procedures to 
ensure the safety of more vulnerable individuals. This enables me to gain knowledge 
of working as part of a team, developing time management skills and a good 
attendance record. I believe I am a conscientious, motivated, and hardworking 
individual.

Body Blitz – Desk Assistant (July 2022 – November 2022) 
I previously completed voluntary hours in a local gym to gain administrative 
experience alongside shadowing a sports therapist along the way. This position involved in working behind a desk and around the gym, I ensured the members sign 
in correctly and their membership was paid by using Microsoft excel and their 
business desktop to check. Other duties included signing new members up, handling 
money from customers and cashing up at the end of my shift. 
TGI Fridays – Bartender (May 2021 – August 2021)
During university, I started work at TGI Fridays as a bartender part-time. This job 
entailed concocting soft drinks and alcoholic cocktails alongside maintaining a warm, 
welcoming atmosphere for our guests. I was able to mix drinks quickly and 
accurately in a fast-paced, high-volume environment. 
Oli & Joes - Waitress (December 2017 – March 2020)
I previously worked as a waitress at a local restaurant. This entailed serving food, 
drinks, and working behind the bar. Working behind the bar entails handling money 
from the customers, cashing up at the end of the night, and good customer 
realisations. Working on the floor at the restaurant has given me a chance to 
enhance my customer service, which enhanced me to gain relationships with the 
customers, making them feel more comfortable and homely at the restaurant,
alongside receiving excellent service. Other jobs entailed receiving customers’
orders, completing the pass, which was to bring out the food and ensuring it was all 
on time and correct, and generally making sure the restaurant was clean and running 
smoothly throughout service. 
Potter’s Wheel -Waitress (August 2017 – January 2018)
I worked locally as a waitress at a public house. I usually undertook 4+ hours every 
Sunday serving meals, waiting tables, and serving soft drinks from behind the bar, 
which has entailed using the cash till.
Working within the restaurant business allowed me to learn important life skills, such 
as independence and responsibility. This experience also allowed me to problem 
solve and develop an understanding of the customer and support them with any 
issues or difficulties. I ensured I was punctual for all my shifts and was flexible to 
complete extra shifts if needed. Throughout my time within the restaurant business, I 
gained experience on how to complete certain tasks, such as the tills, completing 
drinks, delivering the food and to ensure good service.
