I am a mature employee with many years experience in both office and school environments.  The office jobs have varied, ranging from Legal secretary/ receptionist to clerical / admin for Suffolk County Council. 

I love meeting new people and being able to help solve their problems.  I feel that I am a very sympathetic and caring person.

I have been employed at Britannia Primary School as the Play Leader Manager for almost 2 years.  In this role, I am responsible for 25 Play Leaders during Lunchtimes providing supervision for approximately 600 children. I am also responsible for the budget for this department.

Prior to that I  took time out to care for my late father as his health was deteriorating.

Between 2007 and 2015 I worked at Bucklesham Primary School as a Teaching assistant providing close support for children requiring extra help.

Between 1990 and 2006, I worked for Suffolk County Council. I was an admin assistant, regularly being the first point of contact for people visiting the Council buildings, while still providing typing / word processing support to staff.  I used a wide range of office equipment including scanners , printers and copiers.  I also used a wide variety of Microsoft applications.

On occasions, attended Magistrate’s Court and transcribed notes of cases in shorthand, to be typed up later for the Litigation Department.

I attended Wanstead High School between 1978 –1983 and attained    CSE’s in English, Biology, Geography, Social Studies, and Art.  I also gained RSA I in Typewriting and RSA I and II in Communication in Business.
