Duties with LLC include 1 to 1 care and I'm currently assisting a young adult with attending college to encourage and promote independence through guided tasks and activities.

My service user has some health issues so that means I am constantly on alert for any subtle changes in their mood/behaviour and also assisting with personal care when needed.

I shall list other duties in bullet point format for ease of reading.

• Administered medication according to schedule, promoting optimal health outcomes.
• Assured safety measures were met to prevent falls or accidents.
• Provided companionship during outings contributing to an active social life for clients.
• Assisted with personal hygiene tasks to maintain cleanliness and dignity.
• Implemented care plans set out by healthcare professionals leading to improved patient well-being.

My duties first and foremost as in any care work is to see to the needs of the residents/service users in care. Whilst carrying out these duties you must always follow health and safety guidelines to ensure the safety of those in care. for example if a residents was wanting a certain food for dinner and another resident was allergic to that food then it would be my responsibility to ensure meals were prepped following the correct procedure to eliminate risk of cross contamination.

Other duties included doing stock takes for the care home and attending meetings with management for various reasons such as raising concerns, budgetary queries or theme nights such as traditional i.e Christmas, Burns night, Halloween and other monthly themes such as Indian, Chinese, BBQ and many more.
