I am looking to broaden my horizons within the Private care Sector and to gain new experiences. I'm not necessarily looking for the care side of it maybe in a care home within the office base however I'm happy to do hands on when required to support whoever may I be working with also sometimes willing to pick up over time. I do have dyslexia however this is never affected me within my job maybe a little bit more learning required on certain subject or issues.
