In this role I was responsible for supporting adults to continue to live in their own homes safely and to increase self sufficiency in their daily living skills. I worked alongside clients, their families and and other medical professionals to ensure the best possible outcome was achieved. I completed all training required to gather the knowledge and experience to confidently give advice on best practice and new ideas. I assisted with mobility issues, administering medication and enhanced the wellbeing of service users by listening and providing emotional support. I contributed feedback on patient progress and supported whilst making adjustments in their personalised care plans. As a person with excellent communication skills and compassion I thrived on building up trust and creating professional bonds with the majority of my service users thus creating a safe comforting relationship. I monitored and documented changes in behaviours and regularly updated my team members. I was respected as a team member and also welcomed by my service users and their families.
