I am an organised and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. I am willing to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals and work unsociable hours where required. I have experience working under pressure and using my initiative. I have also undertaken training that may be appropriate to this role, including health and safety, death, dying and bereavement, infection control and communication.
