1. CURRICULUM VITAE
Andrea Janine Breading
PERSONAL STATEMENT
I am currently a Team Assistant for a Chemical Engineering company. I have 60 colleagues
which I undertake administration duties for and this is divided into 4 teams. Whilst in my current
role I have been learning SAP and SharePoint and I am now the Content Designer, creating new
pages and sites and adding web parts.
My role before was at RWE npower at Didcot A Power Station where I was as a Personal
Assistant to the Power Station Manager and members of the Executive Team. Due to the site
closing I was made redundant in September 2013.
I have completed a First Line Managers Certificate with ILM and an NVQ III in Business
Administration. I did a secondment in the Human Resources Head Office at RWE to enable me
to gain skills in a HR environment. I have recently attended SharePoint Beginners and Advanced
courses.
I enjoy arranging events and organised the closure event for 400 staff which included finding
suitable venues, agreeing budgets, creating invites and deciding on entertainment and catering
needs. I also organised a reunion party for ex-station employees last April.
In a previous role as Senior Administrator I was involved in the setup of a new computer system
within my department, this involved training staff on the new system, transferring complex care
packages on to the new system, compiling a training manual.
Whilst at the power station I was a volunteer for the npower Climate Cops Programme which
helps schools across the UK to become more greener at home and school as a volunteer I
shared my knowledge and skills with young children. I also volunteered some time with
History pin which involved going to the local Day Centre and chatting with the clients and getting
them to share their memories with photos and stories this is then entered onto the Historypin
website for all generations to see.
