I am an enthusiastic professional individual, seeking a new challenge within your company. My employment history is varied with long periods of service within funeral services as a Funeral Director of over 14 years and within other services within hospitality, retail, care sector, construction, ware housing facilities management and police service. My skills and knowledge within customer service facing roles, as listed above, have been transferrable across all sectors and I regard myself as a self-starter with excellent verbal and written communication skills and a high regard for efficient and effective customer focussed practice to maintain first class service at all times.

I work well on my own, as well as in a team environment, and value consulting and collaborating with others to ensure the best outcome for the customer. I am committed to continuous professional development to improve and maintain my knowledge and skills within my job role. I previously held the rank of a Special Police Constable for eight years; I assisted in operational front-line duties in E Division Glasgow South.

I attended court, prisoner processing duties, logged evidence, finger printing and swap testing. I also maintained officer safety training and officer development. I hold a full clean driving licence.
