What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow in animal care and administration, with opportunities for hands-on experience and professional development.

I am a hardworking and friendly individual with a strong commitment to animal care and administration. My experience as a volunteer at Mile House Vets has equipped me with essential skills in assisting veterinary procedures, monitoring anaesthesia, and providing vaccinations. I thrive in fast-paced environments and take pride in my reliability and punctuality.

In addition to my veterinary experience, I have also volunteered at Wetheriggs Animal Rescue, where I cared for rescued animals and managed customer transactions. My role as an Accounts and Admin Assistant in my family’s business has further developed my organizational skills, as I ensure accurate account management and efficient order dispatching. I am eager to leverage my skills in a professional setting and contribute positively to a team.
