Seeking proofreading and copy editing assignments on either a freelance or permanent basis.

Experienced, certified Proofreader and Copy Editor with a background in finance and business.
What I'm looking for
I am a qualified Proofreader and Copy Editor, currently working in a freelance capacity via Upwork, as well as my day-to-day job working for Epping Forest District Council, and I am now looking to expand this to a permanent role.
During my time as a freelancer, I have worked on a wide range of projects from novels to comic books, to recipe books. However, aside from my proofreading experience, I come from a finance-training background, which I believe would be of great benefit to this role.
My work mainly calls for on screen editing in the in-house style of whichever client I am working for. This requires me to be extremely flexible and able to always work to deadlines with the maximum attention to detail. I am also comfortable working remotely or commuting whenever needed.
Due to the nature of how I work currently, there are reviews from previous clients available via my Upwork profile that I would be happy for you to refer to, should you wish to - https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~0131038cc1c4f2b709?viewMode=1.
