PERSONAL STATEMENT

For many years I have been keenly interested in the fields of Computing and Music. I have a large amount of experience using a wide range of creative software across Apple and PC platforms. My experience using Audio and Video software led me to a number of teaching roles alongside my work in the Music Industry.My position as a Personal Tutor at The Manchester College involved a large number of roles and responsibilities. I was primarily responsible for various cohorts of learners and was responsible for all aspects of teaching and learning across a range of subjects. I was also actively involved in curriculum development as well as the administration of student data using the full Microsoft Office suite. Alongside this I have a detailed understanding of a range of E Learning platforms and methodologies. Developing strong interpersonal skills was essential in terms of liaising closely with other members of staff, such as Functional Skills tutors, Youth Workers and Management. Strong communication skills helped me provide learners with a consistently high quality level of Pastoral support. Attending team meetings and working closely with colleagues and management in order to maintain standards across the curricula, as well as developing and maintaining administrative systems, were also key responsibilities over my many years as a Lecturer.

SKILLS/QUALIFICATIONS

I have undertaken a number of continual professional development courses throughout my years in the teaching profession. Although these were largely delivered in house, they were Industry Standard programmes in a range of subjects including Reflective Practice, Self Management, Health and Safety and First Aid. I also undertook a number of courses relating to learner information systems such as the development of virtual learning environments and other emerging technologies; as well as various network based administrative systems. Due to the large amount of sensitive data, effective data management skills were essential in this aspect of the role.

PERSONAL INTERESTS

I am a keen Musician with 25 years experience of using Music Technology. I have a passion for emerging technologies and have a strong interest in Software and Synthesizers in particular. I am also a keen DJ and am an avid collector of vinyl. For many years I have held long term residencies at a number of venues across the country. Alongside Music, I am a keen cyclist and I have completed several long distance amateur events over the years. For these events I have raised money for a number of charities, including the Christie Hospital. I recently travelled to the French Alps in order to achieve a long held ambition to cycle up the famous mountain of Alpe D’Huez.
