Summary

Following higher‑tier ill‑health retirement from a 21‑year policing career, I took a planned break from full‑time employment to manage long‑term health limitations.

I am now seeking part‑time, low‑stress roles where my extensive experience in communication, public engagement, problem‑solving, and quality assurance can add real value. With a proven record of leadership, integrity, and operational reliability, I bring a calm, professional presence and a highly transferable skill set suited to supportive, structured, and people‑focused environments.
