About
Reliable, friendly and hard-working team player who can remain calm and focused under pressure, and autonomous in quiet periods. I bring nearly seven years of experience working in a busy, fast-growing team to tight client deadlines, alongside earlier roles in cleaning, retail and customer service where high standards of hygiene, organisation and teamwork were essential. I'm a fast learner, who appreciates standards and following routine, and I'm always ready to support colleagues.
I'm interested in the Kitchen Staff role at The Pennsylvanian because I'm looking for shift-based work and believe I can manage the demands of the role while assisting and empowering my colleagues at the same time.
