Ambah Lintern

I am a studious and passionate worker and will always endeavor to deliver work to the highest standard. I remain dedicated to my job and am extremely organised, punctual and reliable. I enjoy taking on new challenges and am eager to learn new skills in which I can apply my problem-solving abilities. With experience in the Education sector, I am calm, patient and culturally aware and adept at working with children with a variety of different support needs. With my background in Educational Psychology, I am aware of some evidence-based and best-practice policies and strategies that can help children to be comfortable and reach their full potential in their environments.

• The Ark After School Care Programme, Volunteer. 04/01/22-present. I have helped to develop and run an after-school programme once a week in my community. We focus on bible stories and teaching our tamariki life skills. We take on board suggestions from them about what they wish to learn. This is a new programme that is showing to be successful and is still growing.
• Heretaunga Christian Centre, Youth Group Leader. 06/01/21-present. I am part of a team that delivers a regular programme to a group of 40 year 5 to 8 students. I develop relationships with the tamariki and encourage them as they navigate the challenges of entering adolescence.
