James Stone

I have a very varied skills set (including retail, mentoring, running a business and construction), am adaptable, personable and love learning new relevant skills.

I have experience of working in a team as well as working independently. I am a good communicator and possess high attention to detail.

I have completed a psychology Access course recently and a peer mentor city and guilds qualification.

I have relocated to Hove and am looking for a new job role.
