This frequently involves reacting quickly and effectively in potentially risky situations.

This involved ensuring the wellbeing of all the onsite dogs, including daily exercise, general health, monitoring any concerns, working with potential adopters and dealing with unexpected events.

I have also held the position of Stunt Co-Ordinator for several films, and have been responsible for managing the safety of all the performers and the film crew during high risk action sequences, whilst ensuring the successful outcome of the stunt.

I was responsible for the health and safety of clients when taking them out on horse rides in the Snowdonia Mountains, as well as the smooth running of the stables and farm..

It was my responsibility to call the shows by coordinating and managing the lighting, sound and stage technicians to ensure the smooth running of each and every pantomime production.
