Loran Parkinson

I am an enthusiastic and caring individual. I am passionate about helping others - empathy and compassion are two of my strengths - and all past employers have found me to be a very caring, reliable and organised person. I work well with others but also adapt well to working on my own initiative.

I am cheerful and friendly whilst maintaining professionalism and can establish immediate rapport with people of all ages. With my experience in the health care industry comes a good knowledge of the data protection act and an understanding of people's individual needs.
