EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

I am a qualified Occupational Therapist (OT) with more than 20 years’ experience in the occupation therapy environment. During this time, I have obtained extensive experience and exposure in the following areas:

Assessing children to identify learning and development needs;

Teaching children life skills, developmental and educational programs;

Treating children professionally and comply with ethical standards;

Establishing and maintaining a working relationship between patients / parents and myself;

Managing and exceeding patients expectations;

Conducting research and up skilling myself to stay in-line with the latest trends and practices;

Managing patient appointments and schedules;

Establishing and implementing all administrative processes required to manage and administer my practice successfully;

Mentoring and coaching students that want to become Occupational Therapists; and

Conducting and presenting various workshops to parents and teachers on a number of topics such as children development, stimulation ideas, learning disabilities etc. During 2018, I decided to expand my skills set and left the occupational therapy environment. I was appointed by an Electrophysiologist where I perform several administrative functions in the practice. Since I am passionate in teaching and mentoring children, I decided to enrol and complete the TEFL

(Teaching English to Foreign Learners) program during 2018. Currently I am an Occupational Therapist in a school environment. I am looking to secure a position (full – time) with an organisation / employer that will enable me to use my training, mentoring and coaching skills and experience. The following additional objectives are also important to me:

2

To be part of a training organisation / employer that values its employees and offers excellent employment prospects, in a fast-paced fulfilling work environment;

To be involved in a challenging working environment that utilises my competencies, capabilities, skills and experience optimally thereby ensuring my contribution to value creation;

A working environment that will constantly challenge me and provide me with the opportunity to operate against my own goals, objectives and timelines;

Obtain exposure to the work / educational ethics of different culture’s in the world. Although I am in an occupation where interpersonal relationships and empathy are key, I am also task / goal orientated, focused, thrive in stressful situations and can manage a few tasks at once. I have excellent skills in putting people at ease and caring for people as and when required. EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS
