A dedicated and compassionate Health Support Worker with extensive experience providing direct care to a diverse range of patients, including the elderly and individuals with disabilities. Proven ability to assist with daily living activities, administer medication safely, and maintain a clean and safe environment. My inpatient healthcare experience has provided broad exposure to patients with learning disabilities, challenging behaviors, and complex physical and mental health conditions.

My work in various inpatient and community settings has developed my skills in medication administration, safeguarding, risk assessment, patient observation, and the ability to recognize and respond to patient deterioration. My experience as a family carer further enhances my understanding of diverse health needs, including stroke and mental health illnesses.
