Unfortunately, due to a flair-up of tendonitis in my wrists whilst chainsawing last year, a hand specialist recommended that I should avoid exposing myself to excessive periods of heavy manual work. Therefore my previous employer decided that I was no longer able to carry out my full range of duties and gave me a capability payment in December 2009.

Therefore, I am now looking for work with less emphasis on practical habitat management. Taking my experience and transferable skills into account, I consider myself suitable for fields of work such as environmental education, people engagement, ecology, Rights of Way, or training. However, I am quite flexible and am interested in all aspects of countryside management, conservation and environmental work.

I am polite, conscientious and have good communication and IT skills. Overall I have an excellent attitude and high personal expectations in all I do.

- Team work within a dedicated group

- Advising policy on ecological issues e.g. designation of SACs or MPAs

- Conservation of important habitats and/ or species

My goal is to work in animal welfare and conservation combined, and eventually i aim to work in africa with big cats, that is my ultimate passion. I have experience with farmstock, domestic and exotic animals, but have not yet been able to fully gain hands on experience with wild uk animals. I will be volunteering at the RSPCA centre in leicester over the summer which will give me more valuable experience.

Having worked in management positions in various business sectors, I now wish to have a change in career, with a focus on using my skills for the good of the environment or charity, and not merely for profit orientated business.
