1. Summary
I have been working part time at Juvenate Health Club for approximately two years, taking on the role of a Leisure Assistant. Initially, my role was fairly casual and was comprised of the basic day-to-day procedures that kept the club running. However, over time I have increasingly taken on more responsibilities and developed a wide range of skills that are certain to help me in the future. The following is a critical report reflecting my time at Juvenate, including the contributions I have made to the club and personal achievements I have gained.

One area I have learnt I need to improve on includes organisation and time management. I also need to be more confident in my ability. It has been useful analysing the skills I have learnt in my time at Juvenate, and also given me time to reflect on what I would like to do in the future.
