Lauren Porter

I am a supply teacher based in Ystradgynlais working in schools around the Neath Port Talbot and Swansea area. However, I am looking for change in career. I am driven to learn new things. I have developed strong communication skills, the ability to work towards and meet deadlines and targets in a timely manner and I am adaptable and reliable.

Whilst not in work I enjoy making the most of living in such close proximity to the Brecon Beacons. I spend my free time walking with my dog and exploring in nature. I can start as and when required. No notice needed for current job.
