Summary
Compassionate and resilient Senior Support Worker with a unique background in Computer Science, combining technical proficiency with deep empathy. My dedication to care is rooted in personal experience; I have developed exceptional patience and attention to detail while caring for elderly relatives and nursing a high-risk premature infant to full health. These life experiences have given me a profound respect for dignity and vulnerability.
I am a Full UK Driving Licence holder, fully up-to-date with all mandatory UK training (Jan 2025), and highly skilled in digital care planning and eMAR systems. Based in Manchester, I am immediately available to bring my reliable, person-centred approach to your team.
