Carl Atkinson

A motivated and reliable individual with a Level 2 Animal Care qualification and practical knowledge of animal welfare, handling, behaviour, and husbandry. I am looking to develop my career within veterinary care and animal welfare. I have several years of experience working in fast-paced warehouse environments, including night shifts, where I developed strong teamwork, attention to detail, reliability, and the ability to follow strict health and safety procedures.
