Throughout 2021 I enjoyed volunteering with SJA to safely administer the COVID-19 vaccination throughout Cheshire and the North West of England. Over my time with SJA I have developed a variety of skills, spending time as a vaccinator, cold chain runner, site marshal and as a member of the admin team.Through my volunteering with SJA, I was offered to take a temporary role as a cold chain manager with the CWP NHS foundation trust.Whilst undertaking the relevant NHS online training, I also learnt the necessary practical skills for this role during my SJA volunteering. Training as a cold chain manager, my responsibilities included ensuring the correct storage and preparation of vaccine, and delivering doses of vaccine to vaccinators throughout the centre to ensure the smooth running of the operation.

For ten months I worked with 3Rs Tuition providing high quality individually prepared tuition to students with varying ages, from primary school to A Level. Over this time I worked with roughly 100 students, tutoring maths, English and science.
