Ellie Archard

Pebmarsh ,England

Summary

Passionate activity leader with experience in a range of programs. Comfortable creating and executing activities alone or as part of larger team. I hold activities for groups up to 20-30 people at my previous workplace as well as smaller, more personal group activities. I have worked in lifestyles and events planning for nearly 5 years and I am highly confident speaking to new people and big groups. As well as being a huge part of the residents lives, I also had a great relationship with the relatives and host events in which I served food, drinks and entertainment. As much as I love my job in care, I have recently found a love for travelling and it would be an amazing experience to be able to put to work my people skills around the world.

I am an extremely quick learner and up for any tasks provided. With my knowledge from pervious jobs, I believe I possess the qualities of a great team member.
