Clair Waite
Campsite Warden
Leicester
Summary
I am a friendly outgoing person who is always positive and upbeat, definitely a people person. I work hard and take a great deal of pride in what I do. I've had a varied career but have always worked with managing quite challenging behaviours, or difficult customers. This has given me a huge amount of resilience and ability to think on my feet. I have a great deal of empathy and compassion for others, I'm a great team player but work equally well alone using my initiative. I'm trustworthy and reliable and always willing to go the extra mile. I have excellent interpersonal and communication skills .
