My professional history includes some highly responsible and exemplary positions such as a trainee teacher at Wymondham High School as well as a Paramedic and most recently as a Community Mental Health Nurse and Clinical Team Leader with Norfolk & Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust. I possess an array of skills, including; being dedicated, motivation, lone-working, professionalism, representing myself and of course the employer and team with high regard for one's manner and presentation. I have excellent IT skills and very competent with Microsoft Office, Adobe (PDF) etc, and many other programmes and operating systems. As well as the knowledge and enthusiasm withsmartphones/tablets/ipads etc. My superiors alsorelied on my ability to proofread and use my excellent communications skills, very often in demanding and potentially difficult situations and environments, as a community mental health nurse and paramedic. The role will hopefully provide me with the flexibility to fit my working hours and availability around my 6 year old daughter, with whom I share parental responsibility for, with her mother, who lives near to Bury St Edmunds. Therefore, the opportunity to my work hours around my set parental routines would be fantastic for me and my daughter, and for your client/business, as all of this is set out throughout the year.
