James Webber

Looking to gain employment as a kitchen assistant and renter the labour market. During my time in previous employment, I have gained experience in all aspects of kitchen work. I have experience in stock control of food items, cleaning and hygiene, preparation and cleaning fryers and ovens.

I am customer focused, work well as part of a team or equally at home working on my own using my own initiative. I have an excellent awareness of food hygiene and safety in the workplace, and I am used to working in fast paced and challenging environments.
