About Sharon Faulkner:

After working as a support worker for 12 years, I'm ready for a change. I can work as part of a team or independently, and focus on being organised. Not only am I keen to learn any new skills required in my new role, I'm also keen to share any skills I may have to contribute to the job. I can speak a little B.S.L. (enough to hold a conversation).

I've had various training including C.O.S.H.H, Health and Safety and fire training.

I enjoy holidays that involve cave exploring, as long as the cave isn't too challenging. Rock and heavy metal are my main go to when listening to music, but I do listen to all types of tunes.

Currently looking for a permanent contract of 28-36 hours per week.

Experience

12 years as a support worker at Coopers Mill Ltd, supporting adults with learning disabilities and mental health needs. This includes medication administration and assistance with personal care.

I was a reception assistant at Skaterz in Walpole Highway before the business came under new ownership. Ensured facilities were clean and tidy at the end of each session. I also covered the cafe area when necessary. 

Previous to the above, I worked over 10 years for Thomas Clarkson Academy in Wisbech. Promoted to Assistant Caterer which h involved dealing with the front of house, biometric tills, and helped to develop an after school coffee shop.

Other positions have been held ranging from cashier /clerk for the Co-operative Bank,  to sales assistant in a department store, to office work.
