Registered Social Worker with Social Care Wales since 2023, bringing over 10 years of frontline experience from Hong Kong supporting individuals with complex emotional, mental health, and neurodevelopmental needs, including autism, ADHD, and severe anxiety.
Now actively working in adult services in the UK, I provide home-based care to older people through Home Instead Swansea—supporting clients with dementia, mobility needs, and daily living tasks to promote independence and quality of life. This has strengthened my understanding of older adults' support needs, safeguarding issues, and the importance of enabling people to remain safely at home.
While I have not yet practised in a UK hospital setting, I have hospital-based experience through a placement at Tuen Mun Hospital (HK), where I contributed to discharge planning across multiple wards and participated in MDT meetings with healthcare professionals. I am proactively enhancing my knowledge of the UK hospital discharge process, Care Act pathways, and reablement services through self-directed learning and shadowing opportunities.
Skilled in holistic assessment, complex case management, crisis response, and outcome-focused planning, I work effectively under pressure and in multi-agency environments. I am passionate about transitioning into hospital-based adult services and confident that my transferable expertise, cultural competence, and strong adaptability make me well-prepared to contribute meaningfully to a hospital social work team.
