Summary

I have experience looking after the wellbeing of individuals with different physical disabilities and mental health needs providing both physical and emotional support. Supporting individuals to enable them to live their lives as independently as possible, supporting them to reach their full potential. My daily tasks included providing basic care to individuals, helping with meal preparation, household chores and assisting individuals to attend clubs/exercise groups.

I am an effective communicator and this has been evidenced when dealing with people in my care. I am able to build strong relationships with those I care for to get the best possible version of them to shine through. I pride myself in my work and take a strong but professional interest in each individual I am looking after. I always strive for greatness in any task that is presented to me and have the willingness to drive forward change and progress in my area of work.
