Summary
After many successful years in the commercial recruitment sector . (global corporation and independently) I now have a huge desire to work within the community/care sector.
The business skills I have acquired which include administration (IT), budget control, event organising, project planning, problem solving, meeting company goals and promoting best practices are transferable to the care sector. Good communication skills and and an empathetic nature, an enjoyment of team based work activities with high energy and focus will be what I aim to bring personally and professionally to a care setting.
