Summary

I am a seasoned and qualified health care assistant with extensive knowledge of residential care legislation, best practices, and health and safety standards. I have substantial experience caring for individuals with dementia, those at the end of life, as well as adults, the elderly, and individuals with special needs or mental health conditions. I am competent in all facets of the role, including personal care, medication administration, meal preparation, and record keeping, and I am flexible regarding shift patterns, including nights. As a collaborative team player, I thrive under pressure and am eager to enhance the skills and knowledge while maintaining a comprehensive understanding of national care standards and their application to various care recipient demographics.
