Skills
I'm a confident communicator at all levels. Having worked in the voluntary sector for over 20 years as a support worker, I have to convey complex information to clients and make sure they understand the information so they can make informed choices. I have to advocate on behalf of clients to senior managers, external agencies, doctors, immigration etc.
I'm adaptable and flexible. In my working role, situations can arise that are not part of the normal working day and as such I need to respond and react to whatever is presented to me.
I have excellent attention to detail. This is fundamental in my working career.
I'm a creative person and enjoy coordinating family events, cooking and baking being a huge part of this process. I'm a keen walker and enjoy the outdoors.
I am computer literate and have worked with most packages including word, excel, Photoshop, social media etc.
I'm a reliable and punctual person. I enjoy working with people and can also work on my own. I feel my skills and experience can effectively fulfil the role of a support artist.
