Summary
I am a hardworking and reliable soon-to-be school leaver with hands-on experience helping a joiner on building sites, mainly during weekends and school holidays. I enjoy practical work, being active, and learning new skills, and I am comfortable following instructions and working as part of a team. I have a friendly nature and get on well with others, which helps me fit in quickly on site and in busy environments. I am physically fit, punctual, and keen to start a career in construction where I can continue to learn, gain experience, and build my skills.

Affiliations
- I'm an active and outgoing person who loves football and being outdoors. I've played and trained from a young age and it's a big part of my life — it keeps me fit, teaches me teamwork, and I enjoy being part of a team. When I'm not playing football, I like spending time with my friends and family and keeping busy. I come from a close family and have great support from my parents, who push me to work hard and be the best I can be. I'm friendly, easy to get on with, and a good mate to others. I enjoy learning new skills, getting stuck into practical work, and having a laugh while still taking things seriously when it matters. Helping my dad with joinery and working at a busy wedding venue has shown me how important it is to turn up on time, listen, and put effort into everything I do. I'm keen to keep learning, gain more experience, and take on new challenges.
