Work Experience.

Alongside my studies, I decided I wanted to carry out voluntary work experience within the psychology field however I was unable to do this due to  a range of different barriers. Therefore I pursued this work experience within  The Old Rectory Residential home, Little Oaks Nursery and the lower school at Frome College.

In total I carried out 200 hours across these three settings, each of which provided me with the opportunity to gain experience and learn new skills in working with a variety of ages and abilities.  A section of my witness statement from my placement at Little Oaks Nursery is shown below;

Head Girl.

During my Final Year of Post 16 I was appointed Head Girl, in this position I had to represent not only my year but the school as a whole during day-to-day school, open evenings, and out of school events. This role required me to make regular speeches, act as a link between students & staff and attend regular meetings with senior members of staff including the Head Teacher.

Member of the National Union of Students & School Council.

The National Union of Students (NUS) is an association of 600 student unions who represent the interest of more then seven millions students to work towards their achieving their aim of promoting, defending and extending the rights of students and to develop and champion strong student unions. During my time in Post 16 at Frome Community College I was elected by my peers to be a member of our school union in which my role was  to help plan both social and charity events, manage and arrange stock and organise resources such as leaver books and T-shirts. This role has taught me and allowed me to extended upon a wide variety of skills particularly social and organisational ones as I had to interact with a wide variety of individuals in order to complete tasks.

I was also an active member of the Student Council which consists of two representatives from each year group whom would meet each week to act as a student voice for any issues raised by our peers. This opportunity enabled me to work within a team in which i had my own role and  was required to present mine and other views which I also respect even if I did not necessarily agree with them- which is vital in a work setting.
