PERSONAL PROFILE
I am a very meticulous person, who enjoys a challenge in both practical
and analytical areas. My reliability, communication skills, responsibility
and friendly nature are further assets I would bring to the job. I am lead
lecturer at Bournemouth and Poole College, lecturing in subjects covering
Microbiology, Biology, Human Movement, Cellular biology, Genetics, and
work placement ethics, Crime Scene Investigation, Forensics,
Anthropology, and Archaeology. I teach the Health and Medical Science
adult students alongside the adult Social Workers in the Access courses.
During my work with the College I have also continued to work in the
restaurant industry, gaining more qualifications and continuing to be the
Health and Safety co-ordinator in both of the roles. I am a fully qualified
biological and forensic anthropologist and archaeologist, which I continue
to develop in my holiday time, training the Bournemouth University
students in the field. I am the Health and Safety advisor on site and off
site. I have taken students to Bulgaria, France, Germany, Belgium and
many places across the U.K., This is a passionate hobby of mine which I
will continue work commitments and holiday time permitting. I have
experience in the community and caring sector, although it has been a
while since I have been “on the ground” I trained when first leaving school
in a care home with dementia patients and undertook a short course on
embalming, which I continue to have contact with and take students on
regular behind the scenes training. I have also worked as a home care
assistant for a year when I first moved to Dorset but returned to College
to gain more qualifications since then.
SKILLS
I am able to learn at a fast pace, Work well independently and within a
team, communicates effectively with others and completes tasks set on
time with precision and professionalism. I have a proven ability as an
excellent motivator of staff and students in the restaurant, classroom and
