Further information

I have had a long break in my employment due to having my 5 children. 2 of my children have high medical care needs so have been unable to find suitable employment to accommodate this.  I have completed a NVQ level 2 in Retail while i was working as a retail supervisor. When employed as a retail assistant and supervisor i worked within a shop, a diner and a bar. I also covered many shifts as a kitchen porter in the main galley at CTCRM so have experience in all these areas of retail/hospitality.
