Sophmeister

I am a hardworking, polite young person who has just completed a BCP Supported Internship and looking to build my skills further through employment. I have experience working in a hotel kitchen, a warehouse using machinery and carrying out product disposal, and in a pub kitchen. These roles have helped me develop good communication skills, attention to detail, and confidence working in busy environments.

My supervisors describe me as reliable, focused, and a supportive team member and as someone who is neurodivergent I bring strengths such as focus, consistency, and commitment to tasks. My long-term goal is to gain experience so I can secure permanent employment in a local café or restaurant.
