I am an efficient hardworking individual with a responsible and caring attitude. I am highly motivated and have a good rapport with people of all ages and backgrounds. I am happy to work alone or part of a team and have the ability to work calmly under pressure. I am currently looking for a full time/part time position that will give me the opportunity to use my already gained skills whilst continuing my own learning and development in a new career.
