More details about your skills
I have worked in lots of different industries so my skills are quite varied!
Chef/Hospitality.
I am enthusiastic about cooking and learning about different cuisines. I have over 5 years experience of cooking in restaurants, cafes and charity initiatives. I currently work as a commis chef in a fine dining restaurant where we cook over an open fire, and I work in a very demanding, fast paced environment. So far, in professional kitchens, I have cooked the following cuisines: Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Pakistani, Iranian, Syrian, Turkish, Kurdish, Greek, Nigerian, Senegalese, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Polish, Mexican, Modern British and American and many more. I would love to continue to learn about different methods, ingredients and techniques. I am able to use technical catering equipment like a sous vide, a vacuum pack machine, a kitchen aid etc.
Working with young people
I have several years experience working with young people, especially those who are vulnerable and have had a difficult start in life. I recently worked as a support worker in a large school with children from a range of backgrounds and challenging circumstances. I used a creative, caring and motivational approach to help improve their confidence. I have also worked with young people from working class backgrounds to help them get a place at University, worked with small children in a primary school and been a personal academic tutor.
Farm work/ Tree planting
I grew up in the countryside and I am confident working outdoors. I recently spent six weeks working on a farm planting trees to improve biodiversity. I am capable of working long hours doing physical tasks, working in a team and carrying plants and equipment across a farm.
