Swindon,United Kingdom
Summary
Motivated with a good mix of practical and technical skills, and I enjoy learning new things. I pick things up quickly and like getting stuck into tasks.
I’m confident talking and listening to people and explaining things clearly, and I understand how to deal with the public in a calm, helpful way. I’m good at solving problems and turning situations around when someone needs support.
I’m comfortable taking lead when it’s needed, but I’m also happy to follow instructions and support others.
Even though I haven’t had a formal job before, the experience I do have has taught me to be reliable, hardworking, and committed.
I’d really love the chance to bring my energy, enthusiasm, and skills to your team.
