I am an enthusiastic, self-motivated and determined individual, seeking a volunteer opportunity within a school, to enhance my experience of teaching children and young people, to assist with my PGCE studies.  My current experience lies in directing a local theatre group of 5 adults and 30 children from diverse backgrounds, as well as volunteering at my local primary academy, in class and on educational outings.  Whilst studying at university, I have co-facilitated drama workshops in a secondary school, and dance and movement sessions for people with dementia, and their carers.  Previous employment involved delivering workshops to unemployed teenagers and adults, designed to provide the tools needed to overcome social and personal barriers, whilst improving their prospects to enable them to enter employment, apprenticeships or further education.  I possess the ability to work well as part of a team, evidenced by effective co-facilitation of drama workshops and rehearsals with the theatre group.  I can work using my own initiative, evidenced through completing all assignments to required deadlines and managing my workload effectively, throughout my studies.  I have developed excellent interpersonal skills that have enabled me to work effectively with all people, in a variety of environments.
