have a passion for animals. I enjoy meeting new people both inside and outside of work. I also like playing
on my Xbox and going to the cinema. I have mild learning difficulties but this has not prevented me from
working, the majority of my roles have been temporary and I am looking for permanent full time
employment. I am a very motivated, punctual and reliable person with a lot of skills to offer.
