Summary

I am a dependable and hard working lover of all animals. I have proved capable of handling a range of animals in a professional and caring manner ensuring that the welfare of the animals is the main priority.

I am extremely reliable and have confidence in handling temperamental animals with relative ease and gentleness.

I am compassionate and caring and keen to work as a member of a team to deliver positive experiences for pets and owners.

I am a pet owner of a dog , cat and a Galah Cockatoo which form the main bulk of my hobbies and interests.

My career aspirations have always focused upon working in a caring profession, hence I initially successfully applied to University to undergo my nursing training .

Unfortunately a period of illness over the past 16 months prevented me from accepting my place in university. I now view this challenging time positively as this has allowed me to reflect upon my future in which my long term aspirations are to become a Veterinary Nurse . I appreciate I have not got extensive experience , however I am willing to volunteer my time in order to build up my skills which would allow me to initially apply for a Animal Care assistant .
