I would like to give you all an update and also apologize for my inactivity.
In 2019 I worked 3 different job roles, all self employed.
I worked part time as a 1-2-1 young person's support worker, a Taekwondo instructor and a security door supervisor specialising in social events like bars, clubs, festivals, theatres, and music venues.
My passion has always been working with children and young people. So when I couldn't work for myself anymore I had to adapt and get a more steady role.
In February 2020 I started working full time for a 16 - 21 supported housing scheme for vulnerable young people in Dover.
The role was suppose to be a support role but it ended up becoming mostly office and Admin work.... so I left a couple of months ago.
I do have plans for the future of the club but it may take some time to get it all in place.
My licence from the national governing body ran out on 28/08/2020.
To be an affiliate of the NGB you need to have a certain number of members join a year. But obviously I had to concentate on my most current full time support role.
I have always used my licence and insurance as a qualification. "Senior Taekwondo Instructor / Grading Examiner". You pay about £130 a year for your instructors licence, insurance and get your certificate.
Recently I am struggling to renew as apparently I am not affiliated anymore as I have not renewed students insurances or got new members.
I will keep you all updated on my progress.
I will still be doing FREE outside lessons in the very near future....... regardless.
