Evey Prentice Email & Phone Number

Ayr, Scotland, United Kingdom

Began as a part time administrative assistant working for children's services on a temporary contract. Have turned my hand to whatever and wherever the demand has been and as requested. From minute taking of formal professional meetings to Child Protection Conferences and providing a broad range of admin support functions. After the secondee returned I moved briefly to Justice Services and took over scheduling and minuting of reviews for six months. I have now secured a permanent role and have been on secondment to learn new skills as a Data Performance Assistant. I am holding out for a new challenge that will best use my skills. In the meantime, I'm doing a worthwhile job, for people who make a difference in children's lives.

LifeBook UK offer ordinary people the chance to tell their not so ordinary stories in their own autobiography. An interviewer spends time with them recording their stories and giving them the powerfully therapeutic benefit of reminiscence and companionship. The Ghostwriter then uses their words to create a unique account of the author's life, whilst an experience manager acts as editor. This is a lovely gift for a family member or members to give to an ageing or terminally ill loved one, and a wonderful heirloom to keep for generations to come. This job was for the soul not the pocket. Sadly the wonderful man I first worked with died during the time I was working with him. His family asked me to help write his obituary: http://www.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/obituary-alexander-sandy-l-munro-head-teacher-1-3565825. The article says it all really. The book was printed in time for Christmas. I carried on working on a total of ten LifeBook projects as a Ghostwriter, for some incredible people, living across the globe. One bespoke project - a Tribute to an American who had made his home in the UK - found me interviewing a US Senator over Skype! It was extraordinary to hear about the many lives, loves and histories of the people I had the privilege to write about, and to work their stories into a cohesive narrative that did them justice. It was challenging and rewarding for all concerned.

Ayrshire

Worked with this talented team on a very adhoc basis... I began by working on how to get more young people engaged in engineering as a career choice and developing a website for the Ayrshire Engineering Alliance. That was a three month part-time role which came to a close. Whilst at BBD I used my NHS and Social Services background in communications to tender for a job for BBD and got it! I assisted in this project with a focus group workshop for initial design feedback, particularly seeking feedback on accessibility from a diverse range of targeted end-users.

Modern mums make a career out of being a mother. I didn't buck the trend, I embraced it. I researched every little thing and tried to be the best mum I could be.

This was my most challenging role: home maker, home mover, supportive partner and mum!
