Aaron Stevens
Summary
I am a hard worker and when given a task and I always complete my task. I'm great at following instructions. I am also a team worker and I'm organized and punctual and always willing to learn new skills. I have spent 16 months working at Luciano's in Dorchester gaining more experience and confidence in my work. Working for Luciano Pierre-White has given me really valuable insight into the workings of a professional kitchen and while it presents many challenges i really enjoyed being pushed to achieve more.
Since May 2023 I have worked as a kitchen assistant at Weymouth Manor Care home which i have really liked and gained more experience in a different work setting.
