Summary
Experienced and dedicated Ward Housekeeper with eight years of continuous service within a busy NHS ward environment. I bring strong knowledge of infection prevention and control, patient safety, and high‑standard cleaning practices essential to maintaining a safe and supportive clinical setting. My degree in Social Care, Justice and Recovery, along with a BTEC in Health Care, has strengthened my understanding of safeguarding, vulnerability, and person‑centred support. I work confidently as part of a multidisciplinary team, communicating effectively with clinical and non‑clinical staff while remaining calm, professional, and adaptable in fast‑paced situations.
