To whom it may concern

My name is Claire Cridland. I am sending through my resume in the hope of acquiring shifts as a PCA in your Emerald facility. I currently work at Millhaven Lodge in Pakenham, as a PCA, where I have been employed for the last 25 year. I currently work PM shifts and finding the driving home at 23.00hrs, very unnerving due to the large amount of wild life on the roads. I am wanting to work closer to home and be more involved in the Emerald community, hence why I am sending you my resume. I am a conscientious worker and a team player. I pride myself on giving the highest quality of care to my clients. I am approachable and communicate well with others. I believe in a holistic approach to aged care and always wanting to make my clients happy. I understand that there may not  be permanent shifts available at the moment, but am happy to also be considered for any casual work also, going forward. I would like to work PM shifts with the possibility of 5 to 6 shifts a fortnight, also available to work weekend shifts. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope that I may here from you soon.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Regards Claire
