Experienced, reliable and friendly professional with over 30 years' NHS experience, where I developed excellent communication, organisational and customer service skills in busy working environments. I am now looking for a part-time customer-facing role where I can use my strong work ethic, attention to detail and enthusiasm for helping people. I enjoy working as part of a team and am keen to learn new skills and develop a new career in retail.
