I work on an ad-hoc basis as a gym instructor for the Academy. This involves inductions and maintaining the standard of the facilities used by the public. In addition I am utilising skills learned throughout my sporting career, as well as learning new skills. Hoping to progress into leading classes as well as personal training.

Working with the most challenging and difficult of the custodial environment, with the aim to get students to engage and think about their health and future. Physically demanding and with a range of abilities in the class, it tests and pushes my abilities as a teacher daily.

Currently working part time in a secure unit for young people. This involves maintaining the safety and wellbeing of the unit and being involved in purposeful activity for the young people. These young people have complex needs and often present with violent and challenging behaviour. It is a role where you really can see the impact of your work, and you genuinely have the opportunity to make a difference in young people's lives. I work in a firm but fair manner across the units, being both a sounding board for young people and giving them alternative routes for their behaviour such as sports outlets or creative activities. I ensure that all behaviours, comments and actions are positive, and when needed, enforce the rules of the unit.

Worked on a small government funded project across the South Wales area. This involved running a project in conjunction with the five prisons in South Wales. The aim was to help prisoners read, write and express themselves in a positive manner. We hit and exceeded all targets set for us, and expanded to work with bail hostels and drug and alcohol agencies. A fantastic job which I hold extremely dear.

Worked on a government initiative aimed at reducing short term custodial sentences. I analysed crimes and patterns of behaviour for suitable candidates and we managed them in the community. The project was a success and as a team we worked extremely hard for this to happen.
