Background

About Isabelle Watts

A personable and driven Psychology graduate, I am currently building my experience in education as a Teaching Assistant at The Perse Prep School. My professional and voluntary work spans customer-facing roles, social media promotion, mental health intervention, and direct support for young people and parents. I am passionate about building community, championing equal access to physical and educational spaces, supporting young people and women, strengthening planning and resourcing efforts, and improving outcomes through early intervention. My evidenced skills include:* Planning: Successfully planned, resourced and delivered sold-out Summer School courses in 2024; invited back to expand the programme for 2025.* Verbal Communication: Contributed to the school’s mentoring programme, supporting 70 pupils over two years; communicated with parents and provided interventions.* Written Communication: Provided crisis support to 50+ texters via ‘Shout,’ following 25 hours of specialist mental health training.* Coordination: Represented GalsWhoTravel on group trips to Japan and Thailand, providing feedback and managing independent solo travel.* Problem Solving: Promoted during Silverstone F1 weekend to coordinate payments and landings for 40+ aircraft, managing pressure during the busiest weekend of the year.* Observation and Listening: Referred children for additional support based on behavioural observations, liaising with the Senior Leadership Team for appropriate intervention. I excel in clear communication, strategic planning, and recognising the individual needs of others. I’m actively seeking opportunities to apply my skills and drive meaningful outcomes while continuing to grow professionally.
