After caring for my parents for the last 10 years it is now time for me to branch out and start a career that will develop my confidence and build new skills. During the time of caring for my parents I have developed good time management skills, patience and understanding alongside developing skills in managing a household. Time management has been key whilst caring for my parents and keeping to a tight timescale when managing appointments and household needs has been a must.
Now care has been put in place it has opened up the time for me to start to think of me and what I want for my future. In my past career I have worked in many environments including warehousing, HGV driving, assembly work, refuse collection and security and I am willing to look into these careers again. I was able to work in a fast environment and always worked well in a team environment.
