Tutor / Development Worker / Co-ordinator

As a teacher I have extensive experience of working with ‘hard to reach’ young people, adults, disabilities and much experiance working in mental health alongside MIND. Projects include ICT, Music technology & Film/Digital Photography. I currently co-ordinate the Dearne Electronic Community Village, a charity based in the Dearne Valley, South Yorkshire running a range of free accredited learning activities centred around ICT & Employability. I also have 11 years experience teaching in further education colleges (ECDL/OCR/ITQ/CLAIT) as aTutor/Exams officer.

I am very experienced with the voluntary sector and understand the difficulties faced to raise funds and comply with local, regional and national government initiatives and agendas. I enjoy developing and implementing new services and curriculum development. I have budgetary experience and the ability to work to very tight deadlines to meet objectives.

I have considerable experience in supporting learners, staff and volunteers with their education and social welfare.
