Experience
Wagamama
Guildford
Front Of House Staff/Trainer August 2015 – present
I work within a supportive team environment, working independently and closely with team leaders and front of
house managers to ensure when I am on shift it all runs smoothly. I serve customers on a daily basis, which
involves a lot of interaction, care and attention to customers who have allergies and intolerances, running correct
dishes to the correct tables, upselling and making sure that the customer has an enjoyable experience and is sure
to return to the restaurant.
Disability Challengers
Farnham/Guildford
Play Worker/Youth Worker March 2014 – June 2015
My role is to support and play with children from the ages of 4-12. I am to act as their 'buddy' and use the toys and
activities set up by challengers to support the children with the mental or physical disabilities. I am trained in
toileting, feeding and general support. Supporting the youths at Challengers was slightly different to supporting 4-
12 years. I am to act as a youth worker not a ‘buddy’ but an adult that is there to support when needed and on trips
out, to help youths manage their time appropriately whilst in the care of Challengers.
The Maltings
Farnham
Cafe Worker/Bar Staff September 2012 – September 2014
The role here is very flexible, there are three main compartments to work in, the Cafe, Foyer and Bar which are all
open at certain times depending on the theatre, cinema, comedy or markets set up at the Malting's. My duties
involve making drinks, serving alcohol, cleaning and general tidying, communication with customers, serving food,
cashing up and handling large amounts of money.
Thornton’s
Farnham
Sales Assistant September 2011 – October 2012
As a sales assistant my role included restocking selves, working on product placement and point of sale displays.
Maintaining a welcoming and clean environment when working and within the store. Representing the company at
all times and offering outstanding customer service and keeping a professional and polite phone manner when
dealing with customers and complaint’s over the phone as complaint’s were not always direct and in store. Whilst
working at Thornton’s I was given the role of ‘Key Holder’. The store became partly my responsibility when the shift
began and ended for example cashing up, maintaining stock and monitoring the float and shop safety when the
manager was absent.
- All employment prior to September 2011 was held throughout my studies whilst at college 2009-2011.
Including pub work and working at Woking Garden Centre from the age of sixteen.
