Colette Melville

A qualified, enthusiastic and motivated Care Worker who is looking to secure a similar position within an established, patient centred establishment where I can make best use of my vast skills, experience and knowledge. I have the desire to work in the nursing / care sector as I believe this is where my skills are best suited. I am a caring, hardworking and reliable Health Care Professional with extensive experience in the care setting.

I possess good interpersonal skills which have proved invaluable in the handling of residents, their families and team members. I am particularly interested in a responsible position in the health care setting where a progressive Company will capitalise on my experience, skills and potential, and which can offer an attractive career path. It is important to me that I am able to do my job well and experience real job satisfaction.

I am a cheerful and outgoing person who has a pleasant and understanding manner. I am a quick learner who would be willing to undertake any training an employer saw as beneficial to the post or towards my professional development. I am a committed member of staff who can work effectively and efficiently as part of a team or equally well on my own.

I am flexible and adaptable in my approach to work and would be willing to work at times to suit the needs of the business, including evenings and weekends. I am a hard working person who is reliable and trustworthy, and would complement any business. I am happy to meet with potential employers, at a time suitable to them, to discuss possible openings and opportunities.
