Recently, I have finished my bachelor's in sociology with a placement at the DWP as a statistician. Going forward, I am planning to get into a job that utilises the skills I've developed over the last few years, such as in social research. I'm currently interested in getting into the public or charity sector. Beyond my degree and career prospects, I enjoy activities such as crocheting and watching period dramas.

I'd describe myself as introverted but enjoying a good conversation about current events and society, probably because of my years studying sociology! I'm also an animal lover and nature enthusiast. Now that I've finished studying, I plan on getting out more, such as to nature parks and theatres, which I haven't had the chance to visit since starting uni. Although I like having time to myself, I also enjoy going out with friends and family when I can, especially up to London for days out.

Again, I want to do more of this now that I have time!” About the Job This is a fantastic opportunity to truly make a positive difference to somebody else's life to assist our client to achieve his goals and aspirations.
