Summary
As my studies and current position at John McGlashan College Boarding Hostel come to an end for the year, I am looking to make productive use of my summer by gaining further work experience. I’m eager to take on a hands-on role where I can apply my strong work ethic, reliability, and practical skills developed through both residential care and previous deckhand work. I enjoy working as part of a team, taking initiative, and contributing wherever needed, and I’m keen to continue building experience in a role that values responsibility, teamwork, and commitment.
