I have had extensive dealings with the voluntary, public and private sectors in my working life.

I have considerable IT knowledge, including helping other members of staff resolve IT issues.  I am proficient in the use of word processing, spreadsheets, databases, powerpoint, etc.  I have obtained the European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) which encompasses all these skills.
