The words to use
- Sustained commitment
- A role kept up over months, with a rota, someone managing you and a cost when you don't turn up. It shows reliability, which observation alone can't.
- Caring responsibilities
- Regular unpaid help for a family member who is ill, disabled or older. UCAS lists caring for a family member as an experience worth including.
- Transferable skill
- Something learned in one setting that works in another, such as staying calm when someone is angry. Claim the skill, not the stakes of the situation.
