Summary

I have a calm approach when under pressure.

I am organised, logical, self motivated and am able to problem solve and prioritise.

I am able to be empathetic, kind and understanding.

My experience in the RAF and insurance industry has given me a high level of attention to detail and a strong work ethic.

I am happy to work alone and within a team, although I do enjoy collaborating with colleagues.

I am able to follow directions from Line Managers, and also to take a leadership role when it is appropriate and required.
