ENTERTAINMENTS MANAGER 2013 - 2013 Beacon Fell View Holiday Park Gained the above position late in the season around June 3013 , This was a typical holiday park vacancy in which I had all aspects of the entertainment to organise and over see. Upon arriving it was obvious this park had been run by amature entertainers with no experience of sound and lighting equipment. Although this was a tough park to work on, it was one of the best places I have held a position in. I was also offered a promotion within 2013 as complex manager till into 2014 however, the owner of Hagans Leisure had decided to cut a lot of the staff for 2014 which is why I am no longer there.

Owner/Manager Low Garth Rescue Centre 2008 - 2011 In 2008 I decided I was going to go back into my training working with animals within the rescue world, Due to the lack of positions and availability of work I decided to create my own rescue centre. My responsibilities consisted of setting up a profession not for profit organisation to keep within current legislation at the time. When the centre started to trade it had a staff of 4 people and numerous volunteers who at anyone point with myself would take care of up to 45 animals ranging from dogs and cats to larger animals such as horses. In 2011 due to ill health and lack of funding I had to close the centre.
