Ffion Paynter

I am a trustworthy, motivated, and dedicated individual, always keen to learn new things and take on new challenges. I have gained valuable experience through my role as a professional canine walker and a placement at the Dog Home in Cardiff, where I learned the importance of good communication, being reliable, and helping others. Completing an award in animal care have helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility and taught me how to stay organised and pay attention to detail.

I always try to be friendly, approachable, and make people feel welcome, and I would bring this attitude to any customer service role. I'm passionate about giving great service and would love the opportunity to work as part of your team and learn more about working in retail. I have proven my ability to achieve a good standard of education through my GCSE's results, which requires excellent organisational skills and willingness to learn and be self-motivated.

I am caring and thoughtful in my approach to working with and communicating with others which are useful skills when working within a public facing sector. I would be a reliable employee, offering excellent communication skills and good judgement. I am a hardworking and passionate with strong organisational skills eager to secure a sales assistant position, ready to help the team achieve company goals.
