Description

I am a bubbly friendly person, as a qualified nurse I love talking to new people and find it easy to build report! I thrive off others energy and enjoy working as part of a team! I love nature and the outdoors spending lots of my childhood on adventures outdoor holidays and lots of my adult hobbies being outdoors or with animals. Being in nature and around animals brings me a lots of happiness and makes me feel more connected!
I am motivated by the feeling of satisfaction when I know I have worked my best to achieve the best possible outcome whatever project/ outlet it might be!

Myself and my partner wish to volunteer because we want to see country’s for their authentic selves, meet locals and help local communities! We feel this could be educational and enlightening!
We would also love the opportunity to improve our knowledge and confidence speaking Spanish.

Heather:
I received a first class honours and BSC degree in Nursing, so it goes without saying that I am a very friendly, caring and compassionate person. I usually work in the emergency department so am good in stressful emergency situation and high amounts of pressure. My role as a nurse means I meet and look after people in distress, so I am good at calming people and making them feel comfortable.

I am good with animals and experienced with looking after horses, dogs and cats.

I have also achieved my Gold Duke of Edingborough, showing my ability to go outside my comfort zone and both physically and mental challenging myself in tough conditions!

Jacob:
I have achieved my Masters Degree in social work in the UK and have worked in this industry for five years. I have large amounts of experience of interacting with people from all backgrounds. I believe I am a friendly, welcoming person and able to communicate with a wide variety of people.

Whilst at University, I worked for three years in Bars, Restaurants and Pubs. I have knowledge and skills of customer service and hospitality.

My father is a Painter and Decorator and I have spent many summers working with him and supporting his business. Therefore I have some DIY experience.

I am also incredibly sporty and love coaching and playing sports. I have experience coaching Rugby and Cricket.
