Description

Hi. 😊
My name is sue and my partner is Dean.. We live in England. We are 63 and 55 years old respectively.

I started volunteering about 13 years ago but let me give you a potted history of my journey which has led me to decide to hopefully get involved with volunteering again with my partner to now join me.

I am a trained event florist which I enjoyed for many years but my desire to travel eventually led me to pluck up the courage to leave my floristry job and to travel to Australia, Germany and France in a volunteering capacity.

On return to England i worked for an agency where I house and pet sat whilst the owners were away.

Whilst working as a florist I had purchased a small property in France which needed renovating. . This project unfortunately came to an end with Brexit. I have now sold this property which leads me onto my next venture and the opportunity of working as a workawayer.

I am in the process of purchasing a horse and wagon with the aim of travelling around the UK as a workawayer .

Below are expamples of my skills and experiences I can offer:

I have worked on equestrian centres and horse farms so i am no stranger to poo picking!!! i have fed and watered horses. groomed horses and have moved them from paddock to paddock. I have cleaned tack. I can muck out stables. i am not an experienced rider but am open to learning.

I love the outdoors and have a real love for gardening and my partner and I are no strangers to hard work.

I also have experience in change overs ie cleaning and preparing caravans and holiday chalets for new customers.

I have owned my own pets over the years (too many to list here lol) . Both my partner and I are real animal lovers. I have also walked dogs on a voluntary basis

I hold a clean driving licence so would be able to drive if a job required it.

My partner has decided to join me on this next stage of my life. He has always had physical jobs and he Is a qualified fork lift driver.

We both have a strong work ethic and are trustworthy individuals.. We work well as a team and can also independantly..

We are able to work unsupervised .
