Summary

If I were to describe myself with three words, I would use hardworking, outgoing, and bubbly. I really enjoy meeting people and find it easy to socialise, whether that be with a group of people or individuals. I'm a good listener and find this helps me to build strong relationships with others and helps to develop a sense of trust and respect.

I'm confident and reliable and able to express myself articulately and clearly. I'm also extremely motivated and always ready and willing to assist others when needed.

I have good time-management skills, and am accustomed to multitasking and working efficiently to meet challenging demands such as deadlines.

I believe that my friendly, approachable and people-orientated nature will help me to be a good team player.

I am a sensible individual and safety-conscious, and believe I have the initiative to evaluate risk to keep everyone safe in a pool environment. I'm a fast learner and willing to take on fresh responsibilities.

I have recently completed my GCSE exams and will be starting college in September 2024. This will initially be for four days a week, reducing to three days a week in the new year, and I am therefore in a good position to commit regularly to a part time position. I live locally and am a walkable distance away, therefore not having to rely on transport.

My reason for leaving my current position as a Hotel Waitress is that it involves working very late night hours, sometimes beyond midnight, and therefore will not be suitable once I have started College in September 2024.
