The Debrett's Foundation is the charitable arm of Debrett's, the UK authority on etiquette, style and achievement. Independent from the business in terms of management and finance, the Debrett's Foundation was established with the objective of advancing the education of high-achieving students from lower socio-economic backgrounds through business etiquette and soft skills training. Through our training we aim to increase the self-confidence of each student we work with so they feel equipped to approach organisations for work experience/internships and interview for places at top universities or their dream first job.The Foundation Administrator is the primary point of contact for all students, schools, volunteers and supporters of the Debrett's Foundation, as well as corporate enquiries. The Administrator is also responsible for the coordination of training, liaising with schools and students, fundraising and promotion.

I worked as part of a small team to provide pastoral care and support for 45 teenage girls aged 14-19 who board at Headington. The majority of boarders are international students who are, for the most part, away from home for the first time. Headington employ recent graduates to provide up to date knowledge of the university application process and the demands of university. I was fortunate enough to be re-employed for a second year and enjoyed further developing work I do with the girls in the boarding house I worked and resided in.
