Nurse/ optical Assistant/ carer
Waterlooville,United Kingdom

Summary

Dependable candidate with excellent communication and interpersonal skills and 3 years of diverse experience in direct patient care.

Valued as accommodating, kind-hearted, flexible, hard working, team player.

Having qualified as a nurse has taught me many new skills, helped me further deepen my knowledge on infection control, maintaining a sterile field, disinfecting wounds and changing dressings after surgical procedures.

I do believe I am an excellent fit for the HCA role and that I would be an asset to the team because of my my skills, values, relevant experience, studies and knowledge acquired.
