I have been in my role of Work Based Learning Tutor for three and a half years, having previously worked in Registry Services at the ½Û×Ó¶ÌÊÓƵ since 2007, and really enjoy working with Foundation Degree students and staff.

As well as this employment, over the last fifteen years I have studied both Speech and Language Therapy and Primary Education, and have worked with children for a lot of this time (primarily ages 0 10) which has given me much experience and insight in supporting our students on the FD Health & Social Care, Mental Health and Child & Adolescent Mental Health courses. I have also completed some informal and formal counselling skills training which has been invaluable when supporting students at various points on their course.

I am involved with teaching sessions for both Level 4 and Level 5 students on work based learning modules, and am currently applying for Associate Fellowship from the HEA. In addition, I am also embarking on an action research project with my WBL tutor colleagues and Foundation Degree Programme Lead looking at experiential work based learning from a lecturers perspective.
