Summary

I have been working in the retail and hospitality industry since the age of 17. Since November 2017, I have been working as a Barista (shift leader) at Caffe Nero, where I am responsible for managing other staff members, coordinating deliveries and ensuring positive customer experiences. The face of hospitality has drastically changed since the arrival of the Covid 19 pandemic, as has my employment outlook. I am now seeking a new opportunity where I can engage in more personalised, one to one customer service, centered around my desire to have an impactful and enriching interaction with customers.

Work History

Customer host

GWR
Bristol
01.2024 - Current

In My current role as a full-time customer host, I work a variety of shifts within the mixed link. This variety has allowed me to work with other colleagues who are either on permanent earlies/ lates as well as other crews from around the network. This has given me further insight into how the catering side of GWR works, as well as showing me the correct procedure and the high standards that we should all be delivering in regards to safety and customer service

weekend customer host

GWR
Bristol
01.2022 - 01.2024

In my previous role as a weekend host I was responsible for providing a safe and welcoming environment for those travelling onboard, I did this in several different ways , firstly by offering a catering service in line with Gwr's food safety standards, secondly by always being open , polite and approachable to customers. Thirdly,I did this by always an observing the situation so I can always be ready to offer help. During my time as a weekend host I have gained a wide experience from working services that have run smoothly to working during disruption from trackside fires , to floods , to power lines coming down. Each of these situations has provided me with further experience to do better at my job.
