Danielle Dukes

I would describe myself as a caring and compassionate person with a responsible and mature approach, I love to step in and am not afraid of taking on new challenges. From being a full time parent I have gained a range of skills that can easily be transferred to the workplace. I now have the chance to focus on myself and am keen to secure work, where I will quickly prove to be a valuable member of the team.

Not only am I doing this for my own development and confidence, but also to continue being a positive role model to my children.
