Description

Hey I'm Chloe! I live in Bristol, England. What motivates me in life is exploration and connection. I love nothing more than being outdoors in nature, whether that is walking, running, cycling or sitting with a book, a nice coffee and listening to the birds (providing the weather is good enough here in the UK!). I also enjoy yoga, pilates and having a good boogie at a music event!

I am a dog-sitter and cleaner alongside my full time job. I really enjoy dog sitting particularly, I am a big animal lover and it has brought me a lot of happiness.

I really value true connection with those around me, I love meting new people and connecting with people that would otherwise be strangers - it brings me a lot of joy :) I have been dreaming of travelling again and picking up workaway for several years - ever since I got back from my last big trip - and now the time has finally come!

More details about your skills

Above all else, I am an incredibly hard working and caring individual. I love working with local communities and offering support wherever I can, for the past several years I have done various volunteering alongside my job:
- I helped to create an eco-zone at a local school, running practical workshops with school children and restoring a nature zone to increase biodiversity
- Supported the delivery of green social prescribing activities with local charity YourPark, who are focused on enhancing mental health through nature connection
- Helped to run dementia friendly gardening sessions with local charity Alive
- Helped to deliver lessons and at a local school Uganda, Africa. I also helped to improve classroom facilities (painting and general maintenance) and build and community facilities (including toilets)
- Supported legal appeals with Bristol Law Centre, helping people who had wrongfully had their benefits revoked appeal their case

I have been working as a Project Coordinator and Green Skills Lead on a Department for Education Project for over two years. I am also a dog sitter, cleaner and I volunteer in my free time with environmental and social projects. Throughout this time I have developed skills in:
- Communication: through presentations, reports and engaging with the community in my volunteering and work activities
- Team work: I help ensure the smooth coordination of our project by working closely with the different departments in my team
- Project management: I have been leading green skills research and published three reports in this area
- IT skills: I work on my laptop Monday-Friday with my job, using communication platforms and Microsoft packages.
- Dog sitting: I have been dog sitting for almost two years now. I have experience caring for dogs of different breads and ages, I also have experience with rescue dogs
- Cleaning: I have been a cleaner for several years, cleaning officers and more recently at peoples homes

I always want to to the best job I can and if I don't have the skills needed I will be more than willing and enthusiastic to learn new skills! I recently helped my friend restore and maintain her Dutch Barge Boat, I absolutely loved helping with this and I'm always willing to get stuck into a new task. If you're looking for specific skills that aren't listed here please send me a message as I may have the skills you're looking for but they might not be listed.
