Summary
I am currently nineteen years old but have already had two years seven months paid experience working as a Personal Care Assistant and volunteered in Residential Aged Care prior this. I am hardworking and reliable and used to working in a fast past environment managing multiple priorities at once. I am used to working either independently without supervision or within in a team.
I have an unfailing work ethic to meet objectives, but am currently seeking a change from working in aged care which is the field I have been working in since I completed secondary school.
