Gaps in Employment

I am also a Reservist with the Band of the Royal Irish Regiment since January 2025.

My Mother took ill during February 2025 and was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Liver Cancer so I had to take a temporary step back to care for her which explains a brief gap in full time employment.

I am now ready to look for a new challenge.
