Work Preference

Work Type

Part Time

Sports, family time, community based activities projects.

Love helping with community based initiatives. I am involved with most sporting clubs locally, either Coaching, assisting or volunteering time to assist families, kids. My family participate in all sports locally, but we do find time to have our family together a couple of times a week. Especially as my kids are getting older leaving home in the not too distant future.
