  KUDIZE CLUB LIMITED

  May 2021 - Jan 2022

  Childcare Worker

  My experience working at Kudize club encouraged me to demonstrate leadership and teamwork skills whilst adapting to potentially stressful situations- I was often in charge of a group of 10+ children aged 4-12. During the summer my team of childcare workers were in charge of a group of over 50 children at an outdoors summer camp at which I helped to coordinate and lead many of the activities. Some of the activities at this camp were developed by me in order to be engaging whilst still developmentally appropriate. I also developed skills in conflict resolution and learning to communicate with the children on an age appropriate and understandable level. Show less

  The time I spent with John Lewis greatly improved my understanding of the Press and communications industry as I was assisting daily in the coordination of their Autumn/Winter press show. I had to adapt when speaking to journalists and editors to effectively communicate information about the rebranding of John Lewis and be able to answer specific questions they had about the products. I assisted senior members of the team in ensuring the event ran smoothly and catering to over 200 guests in a professional manner. Show less
