For the past five years and half years I have worked at Colchester Institute. I initially worked as a learning support assistant providing support for a alternative education programme. For the past six months I have assumed the role of Assessor on the programme.

It is my responsibility ensure classrooms and teaching areas are a safe environment and to report any equipment that is faulty/broken. This is especially important if I am teaching in a sports hall, gym or outdoors.
