Activities i am interested in:
I'm currently in Melbourne, looking to explore Australia over the next two months! I'm looking at hospitality, or helping out with house sitting, childcare, gardening - anything to meet new friends!
Description
Hi! I'm Em, and I'm taking a career break from teaching secondary in London to explore what Australia has to offer. I've been working in housekeeping and hospo in East Gippsland and Melbourne, after travelling around Thailand and Vietnam for 2 months. What I've loved the most so far is meeting new people and sharing stories and experiences. It's amazing what you can learn from having an open mind and connecting with strangers, and I love to find likeminded people who enjoy the outdoors and helping others.

More details about your skills
I am multi-lingual, personable young professional with 7+ years of experience in teaching at a secondary school level and youth mentoring, I am currently taking a career break to explore Australia. With a background in customer service and an adaptable approach to tasks, I am seeking temporary employment in hospitality, retail and outdoor activities to support my travels.
My experience as an English teacher allowed me to work collaboratively with my department to design curriculum plans, as well as building positive and trust-based relationships with students as a Trusted Adult.
As Duke of Edinburgh Coordinator through my school, I am experienced in organising and coordinating expeditions and camping trips across the UK countryside, as well as leading training sessions, assessing participant progress, managing logistics, risk assessments and parent communication.
My background in customer service has given me excellent communication skills, strong organisation, and managing cash transactions.

What else ...
I love the outdoors, camping and hiking to seeking out green spaces, and a rainy day is the perfect chance for a game of Catan or curling up with a book. I'm a big reader (currently obsessed with Eliza Clark and Mona Awad) and can never say no to a bit of kareoke (can't pretend to have any vocal skills but I will bring the energy!). I've got a soft spot for theatre, back in London I was in a musical theatre AmDram group. You'll usually find me with my watercolour set, and like to think I have a green thumb.
