Samuel Baines

Having left school in June 2024, I have spent the past year working at a Butchers as a sales assistant. Whilst attending school, I had a daily early morning paper round for 2 years

I am very hardworking, reliable and keen to learn new skills. I am used to working full time and long hours. At the butchers, I worked from were 7am to 5pm, 5 days a week. For the paper round, this was 7 days a week at 7am before school. I am physically fit and strong. I train for MMA twice a week and lift weight at the gym.

In both of these previous employments roles, I have been complimented for strong communication skills and a positive work ethic..

I am very keen to learn a new trade and hope to be able to complete an NVQ via the apprenticeship route at some point in the future. Through labouring, I hope to gain valuable experience whilst learning new skills in order to determine which type of trade I want to focus on.

• I am currently learning to drive and studying for my theory test. I keep myself fit by cycling regularly, training for Mixed Martial Arts and lifting weights at the gym. Gym Mixed Martial Arts training

I have just successfully completed my CITB HS&E Test for Operatives.
