Description
Kia ora, Hello!
My name is Finley, I am 26 from New Zealand and I'm looking for somewhere to call home for a few months between February and June 2026! I am eager to find somewhere great where I can meet new people, see new sights and become part of a community.
I have a valid working visa in the UK and I am looking for a host to stay with for at least a month or two and open to longer if it's the right fit. I have an extensive hospitality and customer service resume including barista, bar work, restaurants, house keeping and hostels. I also have some childcare experience and I've worked with animals. I would consider myself a hard working all-rounder who is happy to get involved wherever there is work required and I'm super keen to learn new skills!
I have a degree in industrial design so I can help with basic computer needs as well as graphic designing for a business and running social media accounts.
Check out my cv for more details on my work experience and I am happy to provide personal and professional references :)
Look forward to hearing from you!
