Summary
Accomplished and skilled Assistant in Nursing as well as past Retail Assistant at Coles offering experience in a variety of health settings, and Retail settings which has given me the ability to work effectively and congruently within a multidisciplinary team environment. Recognised for my friendly, professional and caring approach and great people skills.
Because of my experience in health care and retail working for Coles in Night fill, Dairy and Checkouts I have great communication skills and retail experience. Although I lack the experience working with animals in a workplace environment. I have owned rats, birds, reptiles and I am passionate about the welfare and care of animals. At this stage of my life and my current priorities I believe I would be ideal for this role due to my experience, maturity and love for all types of animals. It is a perfect fit for my personality and life as my two children are at school through the day. I am willing to do any training that can enhance my skills for the role and I am available to work Monday through Friday. I believe I will be a great member for the team.
