Summary

Before becoming an Education Assistant I worked in the hairdressing industry for 27 years. My role as a senior stylist gave me the interpersonal skills needed to be confident, friendly and approachable.

I have a high level of communication skills including the ability to interact and understand individuals needs. I am able to work well under pressure whilst remaining calm, I use my own initiative but relish the opportunity and importance of collaborating and working as a team.

I am a motivated Education Assistant caring with students of different learning levels and backgrounds.

I am enthusiastic, organised, proactive, respectful, positive and reliable.

Always ready to accommodate and impact student learning and wellbeing with timely support.

Sound oral and written communication skills, including the ability to interact with students, parents, teaching professionals and therapists.
