Claire was unemployed for 6 months before finding work as an Administration Assistant at Orton Longueville School through the Future Jobs Fund scheme. Claire started her new role on the 23rd November.Getting the opportunity on the Future Jobs Fund scheme, “has given me the chance to gain the right experience I need to progress towards my goal of doing a teachers’ training course.”
“I mainly work with the Head Teachers PA, however I have been given the opportunity to work in a number of departments around the school, which have included finance, reception and helping out the teaching assistants.”
“Since December I have co-ordinated the 6th form progression interviews, this includes arranging interviews with parents and dealing with the paperwork involved.”
“Working at Orton Longueville School has been brilliant. Everyone was very friendly and eager to help me if I was struggling with things such as staff names and finding my way round the school.”
“The Future Jobs Fund has been great for me, as when I applied for school positions I was told I needed experience within a school environment, which I had never gained. Getting this role has now given me the chance to gain the valuable experience I need to progress within a school. It has also helped me reinforce my passion for working with children.”
