      Leisure Attendant

      My main area of responsibility in this role is to supervise a wide range of activities in the swimming pool such as swimming lessons, lane swimming, swimming galas and water polo matches and ensure all health and safety guidelines and policies are followed to safeguard customers using the facility. As part of my National Pool Lifeguard training, I learnt essential CPR and first aid practices as well as rescue techniques which I keep up-to-date through monthly training sessions. This role has allowed me to develop my leadership and communication skills to support different client groups including adults, young people and children. Show less

      Dec 2021 - Jun 2022
      Vaccination Centre Volunteer

      I welcomed members of the public to the vaccination centre and booked them in for their appointments. I directed individuals to the different areas within the vaccination centre and I observed individuals in the waiting area once they have received their vaccine to make sure no one has any any adverse reactions or side effects. I also assisted the vaccinators by measuring out the correct vaccine doses. This has provided me with a valuable opportunity to develop my interpersonal and communication skills. Show less

    • Bolton Hospice

      Apr 2022 - May 2023
      Ward Volunteer

      I served drinks and meals to the patients and visitors as well as provided comfort and support. This helped to release some of the pressure off nurses to ensure the patients receive the best possible care. From working within a medical team, I have gained better communication and teamwork skills which are both vital to pursue a career in the medical field. I have also been able to develop my empathy skills from talking to end of life patients when sharing life experiences.

      Sept 2023 - Jun 2024
      Student Ambassador

      I provided support, encouragement and advice to prospective students and their families as part of the University open days and offer holder days. These events take place approximately 8 times per year and I particularly enjoyed meeting new people and sharing my personal university journey and experience to enable them to make an informed decision regarding their own future pathway.
