Safwan B
@safwanb
Enthusiastic graduate with experience in facilities management and customer service.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and adaptable professional with a strong background in facilities management and customer service. My journey began with a Higher National Diploma in Construction Project Management, which laid the foundation for my career. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various roles, including account development and project coordination for charities, where I managed significant aid distribution projects. My experience has equipped me with excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively with diverse teams and stakeholders.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to delivering quality service and support to clients and colleagues alike. My role at the Department for Work and Pensions involved managing complex cases and providing essential guidance to claimants, ensuring their needs were met with empathy and efficiency. I take pride in my ability to build strong relationships, whether with sponsors in the charity sector or with customers in a retail environment. My passion for community service drives me to continually seek opportunities to make a positive impact.
