Jonny Spittal
@jonnyspittal
Confident educator with diverse experience in customer service and aviation.
What I'm looking for
I am a confident and outgoing individual who thrives in collaborative environments. My educational background, with a Bachelor of Arts in Educational Studies from the University of Edinburgh, has equipped me with a deep understanding of child development and the teaching profession. I have honed my interpersonal skills through various roles, including my recent experience in a high-pressure aviation training environment.
Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse industries, from customer service to education and aviation. My role as an Area Planner/Administrator at City Technical Services has allowed me to manage key customer accounts and coordinate engineers across Scotland. Additionally, my time as a Trainee Air Traffic Controller with NATS has provided me with invaluable experience in a safety-critical environment, where I learned to apply rules and procedures under pressure.
My teaching experience in Japan further enriched my skill set, as I taught English to adults and managed administrative responsibilities. I pride myself on my ability to build positive relationships and generate effective teamwork, which I believe is essential for success in any role.
