Jodie Chapman

As a health care assistant in the hospital I am responsible for providing care to the patients and visitors. I carry out personal care such as washing and assisting with meals and provide emotional support for patients who are anxious or distressed.

I follow hospital policies and procedures, maintaining patients dignity and respect at all times. I work as part of a team to ensure patients are getting the help and support they need and escalate concerns to the relevant nurses when a patient is deteriorating.

I am responsible for escalating deteriorating patients to senior staff and advocating for patients in my care.

My role was to provide physical, emotional and social support to the residents in my care. I assisted with personal care such as feeding, washing, dressing and promoting independence whenever possible.

I was there for emotional support when residents became upset and distressed and i also reported concerns to the nurses when residents became unwell.

As a senior practitioner I was responsible for the running of the pre-school and working alongside the manager to help run the nursery. I was responsible for the care, safety and safeguarding of all the children I look after as well as maintaining the highest levels of professionalism with parents and visitors to the setting.

I worked in a very fast paced and ever changing environment and adapted my practice to meet the needs of the children in my care. I was responsible for reporting any safeguarding concerns and administering first aid as and when needed.
