Personal Statement
I am a highly motivated individual seeking a rewarding career, and the job role of an animal assistant would be an amazing opportunity. I have always been a lover of animals from a very young age; they bring so much joy into people's lives. I am a mum of 4 children and have struggled to find a job that fits around my family commitments, but I think this role would be perfect. I am on a break from university studies and hoping to find a career that I can progress in and enjoy every day, not being the same. I am committed to learning and developing an understanding of animal care. Thank you for looking through my CV, and please consider me for this role.
