Summary

After 7 years in the Aged Care Sectors I feel its time for a change. I feel a position within Upper Hunter Shire would offer me the opportunity to expand my skills. I would offer a highly motivated personality with a strong work ethic, exceptional interpersonal skills and not scared of taking on a challenge. I can work well independently or as a team member. I think outside the box and willing to learn new things. Im skilled in working under pressure , in challenging situations and problem solving.
