About

A skilled and dedicated primary school teacher with over 22 years of professional experience, now looking for a new challenge and a positive change in direction. Throughout my career, I have developed excellent communication, organisation and time-management skills, alongside the ability to build positive relationships and provide a friendly, supportive experience for others. I am accustomed to working in busy environments, managing competing priorities and maintaining high standards of presentation, cleanliness and safety.

I am reliable, hardworking, adaptable and a quick learner, with a positive attitude and a genuine pride in doing things carefully and to a high standard. I am now excited to transfer these skills and my experience of working with people into a new role as a Food Hall Assistant, where I can contribute to an enjoyable customer experience and become part of a busy, hardworking team.
