Cody Carruthers

I have experience as working as a healthcare assistant in Northumberland and studying with open university doing biomedical sciences. My job role is rewarding as well as challenging. I have experience working with adults and children who need assistance with mental health illnesses and learning disability.

I am very good at working alone or within a group and have experience working under pressure. I have good judgement skills and am able to keep people of all ages safe and I am very self motivated.
