Personal Statement:
I have spent the last couple of years working within a public house, which saw me start out as a barman then take on more responsibility with a promotion to Team Leaderand gain my personal licence.Whilst doing this I was balancing my career and training for a new career within the military, which taught me great time management skills, with a determination to succeed and adaptability. I am now looking to pursue a new career, where I can excel at and be the best I can be.
Before working within hospitality I gained experience working abroad on Super Yachts ensuring they were maintained to a high standard, operating safely and effectively, whilst looking as clean as possible. Also, I worked for UK Sailing Academy, in which I taught young children and young adults to sail, kayak, instruct, and work as a team. This saw me having to adhere to strict safety regulations and make managerial decisions as well as continual risk assessments of each individual activity and group. I would lead sessions alongside other staff members managing groups fromsix to thirty six.
