About
After having a career break due to raising and taking care of my family, I am now proactively looking for employment. A people person, who can easily integrate into teams with a friendly and approachable nature but is also confident working independently. Moreover, I am adaptable due to my previous experience working as a cleaner in a busy care home where every day brought new challenges. I am extremely keen to build on my current skill set and excited to learn in a new role.
