About

I am a capable, adaptable and practically minded individual who is not afraid of hard, physical work. Pro-active, I enjoy challenges, much prefer to be kept busy and take responsibility in the way that I dress and present myself, being conscious of the need to always present a professional image. Able to work effectively under pressure, I have an organised approach and once up to speed with the requirements within my role, can be relied upon to work independently and at a fast pace.

Throughout previous roles I have demonstrated my ability to work effectively with others both as part of a team as well as independently and have been able to engage confidently with members of the public. Reliable with good time-keeping abilities, I am keen to secure a new role that offers opportunities for further learning and am available to start work immediately.
