About

I am polite, caring, punctual, work well alone and as part of a team or helping a colleague. I'm very approachable for customers. I love serving customers, hanging clothes, and putting out stock. At Exmouth m&co which I was in for18yrs until unfortunately it had to close down by administrators.

Ideally I would love to find a similar role but interested in trying other customer and shop related jobs like cafe cofee shop assistant. I have also done voluntary work in 3 childcare settings. I have worked at a primary school breakfast, and after school club for3 yrs , and a couple of residential homes short term.

I started volunteering in Exmouth red cross charity shop in June2023, and I enjoyed it a lot . Assistant manager role came up there, so I applied, and got the job in August. I did the role till end of April but role wasn't fir me.

I decided to stay there as a volunteer running the shop on Sundays which I enjoyed doing when I was assistant manager and i did other days aswell.

Sundays finished when new assistant manager started .

I still enjoy doing volunteering so volunteeer monday afternoons &thursday whole morning sometimes more depending on other volunteers.
