Summary

I am a reliable and trustworthy person with experience in dealing with vulnerable clients. For many years I have supported vulnerable children with additional needs in my roles as 1:1 pupil support at a SEMH school & a foster carer. I have also gained valuable knowledge and experience being my Fathers main carer and advocate for the last 20 years of his life, he had a diagnosis of Primary Progressive MS. I am considered a compassionate caregiver & proactive client advocate by my colleagues. I can adapt to an individuals needs and have gained skills to manage challenging behaviours using positive reinforcement techniques.

I understand the importance of maintaining a safe and organised environment, implementing health and safety protocols plus I ensure record-keeping & medication administration is kept up to date. With my early career as a Chef and Restaurant Manager I have sound nutrition knowledge, cooking & budgeting skills. I feel comfortable liaising with parents, guardians, social services, and healthcare professionals. I strive to work towards a person centred, quality care experience for the service user. In my future with AFG I wish to continue making a positive impact on the lives of the vulnerable individuals I support.
