Since leaving school in 2009 I have worked within a couple of different areas of employment which has enabled me to feel comfortable in a working environment. During my employment I have always shown the ability to follow spoken instructions in order to meet the successful completion of tasks. I consider myself to be reliable and able to represent any organisation professionally when dealing with customers. Within the area I currently work it is essential to be able to provide assistance to colleagues as and when requested but also to be able to work with minimal supervision.
I possess the ability to communicate clearly and effectively on a face to face level and I adopt a positive and flexible approach to work and colleagues and have a good working relationship with staff at all levels. In any role I would adhere to existing policy and also understand department procedures and operate within them. I also hold a full UK driving licence with category C entitlement along with a valid CPC and a digital Tachograph card.
