Description

Hey! I'm Alice, 23 and from England :)

I am an animal lover, enjoy being in nature, and a keen reader! I also love art projects and DIY.

Exploring new places outside of my comfort zone is also a massive motivator for me.
I feel happiest when I'm in nature, whether it be on a beach or in the countryside.

Another key motivation for me is job satisfaction and sense of accomplishment; whether it be from learning a new skill, or perfecting an old one! I'm active and reasonably strong, and always willing to give something a go, but equally I know when to ask for help! I consider myself an efficient worker, and will really get stuck in.

As well as working in hospitality for many years, I have also worked as a carer, volunteered at a cat rescue centre, and completed a young life-guarding course (completed age 16) and still consider myself a strong swimmer who enjoys being in water - a lot!

Growing up I have always helped my mum with DIY around our home. I have also done work experience with a painter and decorator, which included tasks such as stripping wallpaper, painting, fitting carpets and using power tools. Even though I would still consider myself a beginner, I love learning tips and tricks to better my DIY skills.

Thanks for reading!

More details about your skills

-For the last 2 years, I've been a supervisor in a restaurant/bar. Its given me so much confidence in leadership, thinking on my feet, using my initiative and also team work (solving problems as a collective, delegating, and being there for the rest of the team). This was also a very physical job, sometimes doing upwards of 25k steps a shift, meaning I'm more than happy to put a graft in! (I also make some great cocktails if that's what you're after!)

-I love animals, and have grown up with them. Having always lived with dogs & cats, I'm very knowledgeable in their behaviour and lifestyles.

-I have also done care work in the past, which although was very difficult at times, is the best job I've had. Knowing you've made a positive difference to someone's day, building trust and creating friendships with those I cared for, made it the most rewarding and enriching job I could've asked for.

-I'm a very practical and efficient worker, I pick up new skills fast and enjoy projects such as DIY or artistic ventures. I am very happy to get my hands dirty and get stuck in with whatever needs doing. As mentioned above, I have experience in painting and decorating and using power tools.

-I hold a full UK manual driving license, and have been driving for over 4 years.

What else ...

I really enjoy yoga, and try and do it daily. I also love bouldering/rock climbing, as well as wild swimming. All of which go hand in hand with my love of nature and the outdoors. I also love art, such as painting/drawing in my spare time, as well as reading.
