Beschreibung

I am 18 years old and currently undertaking a gap year before beginning Medical School in the UK. I'm looking for some hands-on working experience to keep myself busy in a new and exciting environment. I am looking for opportunities to improve my language skills, spend some time outdoors and in nature and connect with fellow travelers from all over the world whether it be over a game of cards or an adrenalin-pumping adventure like cliff jumping. Living in a boarding house for the past 4 years has given me a love for connecting with people through communal meals or laid-back chats in the common room and I would love to continue this throughout my gap year.
I am looking for an outdoor-focused workaway with opportunities to take part in local activities such as scuba diving, hiking, cycling, or kitesurfing

Was könntest du arbeiten?

I'm currently working as an online tutor, and boarding and sports assistant at a prep school so I have plenty of experience working with and teaching children. My ambition to become a doctor has lead me to take first aid-related courses and I am currently a qualified PADI rescue diver (starting my divemaster in December if all goes well), a certified lifeguard, and an emergency oxygen provider.
I also love hiking (Kilimanjaro being my greatest achievement) cycling and kitesurfing (the latter I kinda suck at but I'm always eager to improve). I think I'm pretty easygoing and having lived in Kenya and the UK and have a pretty open mind and I'm always excited to throw myself into the next adventure.
I am an LTA level 1 Tennis assistant and have experience coaching prep school tennis. I have been swimming competitively for the past 8 years and I have experience teaching beginners how to swim as well as basic training. I am also an online maths, chemistry, biology, history, and Italian tutor for IB students (ages 16-18) and I have safeguarding training due to my current job as a prep school boarding house assistant.
I am an army cadet and have taken part in leadership and adventure training courses (rock climbing and coasteering)

General Maintenance - I have volunteered on a few projects that involved renovation, one in Kenya renovating an old horse trailer into a shop where the local women can sell their beaded jewelry and I am lucky enough to have a father who insists on using me and my sister as his 'little laborers' so I have some skills with general repairs.

Cleaning and cooking - Having gone to boarding school for the past 4 years I learned quite quickly how to cook for groups (and extras for the girls that smelt food and followed the scent!). It also instilled in me a routine of keeping tidy and cleaning up after myself. Now as a gap year tutor in a prep school boarding house not only am I picking up after myself but a hoard of prep schoolers.

Working with children - As a house prefect I have been a mentor for the younger girls in my house and as a gap year tutor I am essentially a big sister/young mummy for the girls and boys in the boarding house. I have also undergone basic safeguarding for working with children.

Volunteering in a wild dog research center in Loita (Kenya) and as a swimming and tennis assistant.
I have also done an internship at Kenyatta National Hospital (in Kenya) where I helped in the clinic and followed an Orthopaedic and General surgeon with the highlight of my internship being watching an open heart surgery!
