Summary

I have 17 years of experience working as a chef in busy catering environments, including 7 years with Miller & Carter and 10 years at Ashdene Care Home. During my career I have learned how to work well under pressure, manage my time, work as part of a team and take responsibility for getting jobs done properly. I am now looking for a change and would like to move away from the catering industry and into a different type of work. I am hardworking, reliable and willing to learn. I am comfortable working as part of a team but can also work independently and get on with tasks without needing constant supervision. I am used to following procedures, working to deadlines, dealing with problems and maintaining standards in busy environments. I would like the opportunity to use the experience and skills I already have while learning new skills and building a long-term career in a different industry.
