Alison Guyan
Community support worker
About
I am a conscientious person with a friendly, outgoing manner, who can work well on own initiative or as part of a target orientated team.
My main strengths include: reliability, punctuality and flexibility. I am always willing to learn new skills and knowledge, to increase efficiency and effectiveness. I have a strong belief that organisation and commitment is a key factor in any job role.
I thrive in an environment which involves interacting with the public and always excellent customer service, at all times. I was diagnosed with PPMS in June 2020, this has impacted my life in various aspects. I am still willing to put as much into work now as did previously.
