Due to my current role as a Driver Supervisor I am confident in using spreadsheets and excel.
I am very much a team player and have no issues with taking on a challenge. I enjoy learning new skills and am proactive in getting tasks completed. I have no issues with time keeping or sickness and will often try to assist where possible.
I am looking to change my role due to family commitments and the nature of the role in currently in demanding more.
