After a string of desk rejections and unsuccessful interviews, I am still looking for work in West Yorkshire/remotely. I have experience in HE teaching and administration, editing and copyediting, research and writing, and customer service! If you know of any roles going please send them my way 🙏

It’s Friday night so I’ve made a Football Weekly XI French class in goal, ball playing centre backs, solid number 6’s, Italian wizardry at number 10, two crafty wingers and a striker to bang them in

It’s Friday night so I’ve made an English Monarchs XI Neville Brothers type wing backs, some serious midfield generals, bone crunching central defending and a front three to dominate Europe
An English monarchs XI, God save the king!

It’s Friday night so I’m making a Game Of Thrones XI A resolute defence, nippy full backs, no nonsense centre midfield protecting the back four, a creative number 10, two fancy wingers and a striker to bang them in
