I have worked on a range of projects including implementing designs; building page structures; designing databases; writing APIs; and working with a wide variety of data sources. I have helped Cuttlefish to develop their in-house CMSs and Frameworks; adding new and extending existing features; and especially enabling new ways of reading data in and sharing data out. I support the projects I have developed after launch and regularly recommend improvements.

Supporting Youth Councils with both administrative tasks (taking notes, circulating papers, etc.) and supporting the Youth Workers in facilitating meetings and activities. I worked closely with the young people to enable them to maintain their sections on The Jitty website by training them to use the content management tools.

A part-time job; supporting and leading groups of young people to carry out various activities including attending meetings.

A summer job; developing and maintaining a few internal MS Access databases and some improvements to their website.

Since 2009 I have been Assistant Scout Leader and Scout Leader for the 1st Sapcote Scouts. During this time I have completed my leader training and been awarded my Wood Badge. I have helped to grow the section from a low of 2 scouts up to 9 scouts at the start of 2012.

In 2009 I started to help with climbing sessions at the local scout campsite and since then have worked hard to become a qualified Scout and Guide climbing instructor. I continue working toward gaining the Single Pitch Award that will enable me to take groups out on rock.

I run climbing, abseiling and crate stacking sessions for groups. I also train young instructors from no experience up to basic scout/guide qualified level.

Qualifications

Scouts: Climbing (Single Pitch) Top Rope - Leadership and Supervisory

Guides: Level 1 Climbing and Abseiling

From 2001 through 2011 I was heavily involved in Youth Democracy in Leicestershire through voluntary work with the County Youth Council for Leicestershire (CYCLe) and Connexions Leicester Shire’s Youth Executive, and later part-time paid work.
