I’m a conscientious, reliable and highly motivated 19-year-old pursuing a medical career.
I am a people person, great team player and communicator and looking to use these skills in a professional setting.
Having volunteered at a hospital, charity shop, care home and worked as a babysitter and tutor, I have had experience communicating with a range of people and successfully developed trusting professional relationships.
As a diligent and organised individual, I care deeply about helping people and consider it a privilege to be trusted to provide a service for others in any way possible.
I am looking for a position over the summer (mid Jun-mid Sept 2024) and potentially in the holidays between University terms later.
