Summary
I'm a hardworking and reliable 16-year-old student at Polam Hall Secondary School , currently studying for my GCSEs.
I started my own car washing and valeting business at 15, which has helped me develop strong communication, organisation and customer service skills. As the weather gets colder, I've scaled back the business and I'm now looking for a part-time job that I can fit around my school studies.
I'm confident, motivated and enjoy working with others. Through playing football for Hurworth Juniors and representing Blackwell Golf Club , I've learned the importance of teamwork, commitment and respect. I always try to do my best in everything I take on.
