Summary

I am a friendly, confident and approachable person who enjoys working with people and creating positive experiences for others. As a Children’s Student Nurse with over 20 years of experience working in healthcare as a Healthcare Assistant, I have developed strong communication skills, patience and the ability to remain calm and professional in busy and sometimes challenging environments. I am naturally talkative, warm and welcoming, which helps people feel comfortable and supported, especially when they may feel anxious or stressed.

Through my nursing training and healthcare experience, I have learned the importance of teamwork, responsibility and delivering high standards of care and customer service. I am used to working in fast-paced settings where organisation, attention to detail and clear communication are essential. I am also confident supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds, listening to their needs and helping resolve problems quickly and professionally.

I pride myself on having a positive attitude, strong work ethic and the ability to adapt to different situations. I enjoy being part of a team but can also use my initiative when needed. My caring nature, patience and people skills allow me to build good relationships with both customers and colleagues, helping to create a welcoming and efficient environment. I am passionate about providing excellent service and would bring energy, reliability and a friendly personality to the team.
