Hello
My name is John. I am 57 years old and have just taken early retirement from London Ambulance Service after 34 years as a Paramedic and Operational Officer. I have made this decision following the very sad death of my beautiful 25 year old son from a brain tumour earlier this year and am looking to start a new chapter in my life.
I am looking to escape the hustle and bustle of London for a more relaxed way of life.
I have some experience of assisting on a friend’s dairy farm in Ireland where he also keeps a couple of donkeys and I love working outdoors.
I would love to learn more about the care of animals and the natural environment.
My experience working as a Paramedic has taught me how to deal with people of all ages and backgrounds at probably the worst time in their lives and I am confident that I can transfer those skills to animals as well.
I am comfortable dealing with all situations and remain calm throughout.
I am happy to work alone but also have vast experience of working as part of a team in an emergency situation.
I am willing to be flexible with my working hours.
Please feel welcome to contact me should you require any further information.
Cheers
John
Hello
I have vast experience of working within a teamwork emergency situation gained from my years as a London Paramedic.
I understand that people need to be dealt with empathy and listened to and I am sure this the same for animals.
I also have years of experience as a an Ambulance Officer and am comfortable to take the lead when required.
I understand the need to be punctual, reliable and enthusiastic in my work and have always strived to continue to learn and improve.
I am happiest working outdoors in an any weather conditions and would love to work with animals. I love donkeys.
I have even forgiven the donkey that stamped on my foot and broke my toe many year
I guess it was my fault for wearing sandals.
Please feel welcome to contact me should you require any further information.
Cheers
John
