Housewife and Administration Support

Neve Forestry
Llanybydder, Ceredigion
2019.05 - 2022.05

I had a longer than expected break in employment due to Covid 19 pandemic. My plan for the latter end of 2019 was to organise moving our home and business from Herefordshire to Ceredigion and pursue new employment there, our move was completed in January 2020. However, I suffer with arthritis and take immunosuppressant medication which successfully treats my symptoms but categorised me as vulnerable during Covid 19 lockdowns. I had to isolate longer than most and at the time seeking new employment was not advisable.
