Teaching AssistantUniversity Of Stirling Sep 2012 - Jan 2013StirlingAfter graduating from my undergraduate degree, I continued to work for the university as a teaching assistant. I was responsible for leading small groups of undergraduate psychology students on research projects. I learnt the value of giving effective guidance, support and advice.

Special Needs CounsellorEaster Seals, Inc. May 2011 - Aug 2011New Jersey, UsaIn the summer of 2011 I travelled to New Jersey, USA, to work with children and adults with special needs. My role involved working with the consumers on a personal basis, helping them with day to day living such as eating and changing. The consumers ranged from mental health to physical disabilities which allowed me to get first hand experience with some of the disabilities studied through my psychology course. My time with Easter Seals was hard work, with long hours and high levels of responsibility yet a rewarding experience as I helped give the consumers a great Summer holiday. Communication skills and patience was imperative as some consumers had little or no verbal communication. Strong leadership skills and the ability to show my initiative were essential, and I was awarded the Best Counsellor of the Summer award. -
Wish VisitorMake-A-Wish Foundation Oct 2010 - May 2011ScotlandMake-A-Wish Foundation grants magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses. My volunteer role as wish visitor was to visit a wish child in their home and ascertain what their true wish is and why they would like it to be granted. Good verbal communication with children, young people and parents was essential as well as the ability to cope with what may be distressing information and situations. I also used my excellent listening and report writing skills. Being flexible was important as, sometimes at the last minute, a wish visit may be cancelled or there was a need to change the appointment time or venue. -
