Childrens Worker

Aug 2008 – Oct 2011 · 3 yrs 2 mos · Buntingford, England, United Kingdom

Volunteer work. Primarily organising various tasks for children and then discussing the day with parents. A role that was only available throughout the holidays so was undertaken during term breaks from university. The job itself required a large amount of flexibility and patience and there was an importance on being able to plan the day, and sessions, as best as possible.
