Summary
I began my career as a Registered Nurse in the Oncology and Haematology field. This ended when my daughter was born quite prematurely and unwell in 2011. My second daughter was born in 2013 and I resumed home duties at this time.
My husband and I started a CrossFit business in 2014 where I was responsible for the day to day running of the business. This included HR management, Payroll, Marketing, Social Media, Client Acquisition and retention, Stock replenishment, Customer Feedback etc.
We sold that business at the end of 2021 and I have been homeschooling my daughters in that time.
I am now looking for some part time work to fill some time and believe a remote role would suit my circumstances.
