James Le Brun Email and Phone Number

My role at the Brewers Arms started as a general bar staff position, but as I progressed throughout my time. My role became more important and valued throughout the years. I first started to cash the tills at the end of the night and then went on to other important maintenance procedures, such as cleaning the pump lines, paying wages, opening and closing the pub. Over the years of working at the Brewers Arms I created an amazing relationship with the staff and customers, so much that Paul Smith (Landlord) would always have job opportunities for me when I was home from university in the holiday seasons.

My role as wood shop director was to lead all workshop activities and classes throughout the whole summer. This included a vast range of tasks; the main task was to create projects that the campers could complete based on their age set and skill level. I created a plan for teaching 6 set classes and one elective class for 6 days of the week for a six-week duration. The safety of all campers was always essential. I achieved this through carrying out safety inductions with the campers and councillors while ensuring machinery was only used by myself and trained staff; which resulted in roughly 500 campers having no injuries.

I was hired at camp Canadensis to be a general camp counsellor and also a Woodworking specialist. This role meant that in the daytime alongside one other counsellor, I would teach six classes a day in the wood-shop. When not teaching I would join my co-counsellors in looking after our assigned 13 campers (aged 8-10). As my campers where one of the youngest, they required the most attention. The role included making sure they had showered, put their dirty clothes away, got the right sports equipment for the day, made sure they were eating and drinking enough. As first described to me my role was essentially working parent.

I was employed by IKF Chester as a bench joiner apprentice. My role was to assist and work alongside one other employee to manufacture kitchen and bedroom cabinets. It wasn’t soon before I progressed quickly into the role and were able to manufacture cabinets solely on my own using a range of machinery. I worked alongside my partner for roughly six months, until he moved on. This led myself moving to a more important role and taking over all manufacturing processes within the workshop.
