Summary

With over a decade of experience in the care industry, I have found fulfillment as a support worker and shift leader for individuals with learning disabilities. My Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare has equipped me with effective communication strategies, enabling me to ask the right questions and approach challenging behaviors with a calm and collected demeanor. This approach, applicable to any job, has proven to be a valuable tool in navigating difficult situations. Additionally, my attentive listening skills have taught me the importance of understanding and sympathizing with others' stressors to find workable solutions. As I embark on a new venture, I am eager to apply the skills acquired over 15 years of employment. I seek new and exciting challenges to learn new skills and build a sustainable career with promising prospects. Reliability is one of my key strengths, as I am dedicated to giving my all in everything I do. With a presentable appearance, the right attitude, and unwavering determination, I am confident that I will be an exceptional candidate in my new career. Given the opportunity, I believe I would make a positive addition to any team.
